Is it getting personal? "A dozen questionalble affirmations"? (I assume you mean assertions.) I dare you to name even half a dozen. It may be a fair criticism to state that the TOUTED strengths of the system will not make a sighificant difference, but that doesn't make them "questionable." Everything they have stated is true as far as can be objectively determined. Significant benefit? Well, that's a mattrer of opinion. 80 mm medium format lens? 40 mm lens from the Rollei 35S? What the heck do either of these have to do with Zeiss Ikon - or Zeiss itself for that matter? Other than the fact that Zeiss licensed these 2 lenses to Rollei a long time ago, they have nothing to do with this new system. Rollei introduced them in LTM 2 years ago, but that project has been abandoned for at least 6 months. And it was from ROLLEi - not ZEISS. Please, if you're going to criticize Zeiss for misrepresentations, clean up your own misrepresentations first.
