I guess we should take the smart message from Hasselblad and just have Fuji
make our glass for us now.
Fix the rest in software.
Who needs quality glass?
Every lens you get will come with an instillation CD with a stand alone
program or plug in for Photoshop.
To take out all residual aberrations and distortion's.
And we should put the whole company up for sale on the Asian market and then
combine with a digital back company from Finland and have them take over and
run everything.
The first thing: announce that all glass and traditional cameras will no
longer be made at all. And certainly not in Germany!
That would be ideal.
We'll just follow the lead of Hasselblad.
