Besides, why shoot with a Yashica when you can shoot with a Leica. A
dealer reported to me that several of his clients, mostly wedding
photogs, dumped their Rollei SLR systems to get a Contax autofocus 645.
After a comparison of the Contax generated prints with their previous
Rollei work, they went back to the Rollei glass. Needless to say, taking
a bath getting back in.
