Just the facts, and noting that they are just different approaches both of
which obviously work and have strengths and weaknesses inherent in the
design choices.  I'm not convinced that in body stabilisation is a priority
for any medium format manufacturer though, personally.

By the way, where are your photo contributions for the yearbook?????
...and everyone elses too?????
I thought I would be swamped by now by LUG contributors showing just what
people can do with different systems.
30 is a puddle not a swamp.


Cheers
