Is that the same Erwin who has written that photography is dead because
one can't shoot digital with the same sensibility with which one shoots
film? THAT Erwin....;-)

Zeiss guys? 
How much is this Zeiss thing and how much is it a Cosina thing? Erwin
sure seems to think Zeiss has It's name on the line and it's THEIR deal
with the 400 lines issue. A bridge too far - he should know I think he
lives next to it. But first out we were told this was Cosina having
bought the Zeiss Ikon name just like with the Voigtl?nder name. Which is
it? Or how to these two lines blur?
