This photographer friend of mine had the R6.2 on the counter next to the Aria and S2 at Camera World and went with the Aria last month. Since then rounding out his "system with the 35 and 85 1.4's. We were extremely impressed by the groundglass. By the way I took the Brightscreen off my Rollieflex 2.8 F and put the original back on. I like the "grit." But will get a Maxwell as everyone says it's the best of all worlds. Mark Rabiner The search for the perfect groundglass goes on. Love the Acumats on the Hasselblads. Wish Minolta would make them for other cameras.
