But in todays world of "thinking-cameras for unthinking-people!",many
people seem incapable of manually setting a camera !! ;^)
Just suprised he didn't complain that the M6 doesn't have a built-in
motor-wind or an LCD screen !!
As for the problems of loading the film....just as well he wasn't using
one of the old screw-Leicas !! ;^)
By the way--with regards the lack of any mention of Fuji's involvement...
look in the second paragraph..."45+90mm FUJINON lenses" !!
{ notice on the photos,though that the lens on the camera says =
"Hasselblad"--shades of the "Leica" CL here..but at least you could fit
Leica lenses on the CL--doubt if you could fit Hasselblad lenses on the
XPAN !! }
Final moan....in the UK edition of the mag,the price mentioned for
the M3 { =A31758 --about $2830 } fails to take into account Leica's
"cashback" deal { =A3200 --about $320 here } !!
Incidentally--in the UK mag,it mentions on the news page that Fuji's
version of the XPAN is on sale in Japan for =A3650 { about $1045 }....
about HALF the price of the Hasselblad-badged version !!
Not being a "name" freak,I know which one I'd rather buy !! ;^)
