Hasselblad ><Snip> All I can tell you is that i am running right down the wire 242 against 242 as to a Contax RTSIII or a Leica R8. Over the counter at CameraWorld I've played with the RTSIII twice this week. A tank of a camera with such quick and sure precision! And as the silky R8 had neither winder no motor it was an unfair comparison as Dave Rodgers and I traded back and forth the two cameras on the counter. Zeiss glass or Leica? Love those 60 macros but which one? I'd use 35mm SLR for macro and longer telephoto use. A 180. It's running right down the wire. But I've got to see the N1 first in another Month. How would their new Zeiss 2.8 100 macro compare against the mighty Leica APO-MACRO-ELMARIT-R ? mark rabiner Zeiss is nice! but Leica is like riding a Bike a!
