It is probably a good camera, but as usual, too expensive and too heavy. I'll never buy one of those. Feel fine with my minimum photographic equipment, Contax TVS, Rollei 35, Olympus Mju-2 and a Leica II in case... I recently transformed an old wooden 4'x5' camera into a pin-hole system. I made several plates with holes of different diameter. I got several focal lengths for "nothing", no lenses, no problems. Amazing landscape pictures though, wide angle with no distortion and an extreme DOF... I have moved to the green Loire Valley, into a house from the 15th century. Everything is nice, quiet and harmonious. A good base when I'm not around reporting the disasters of northern imperialism. (don't make a thread about it!). I'll shoot some nice landscapes here, if it's possible to "shoot" with a pin-hole box. From time to time I'll write to the LUG, hoping that my points of view could be tolerated and flame wars be avoided. Regards, Oddmund Chinon, France
