It's not really a problem.

They're not making them anymore, true. But they have an inventory of
cameras to meet the demand, so anyone who wants one, can still buy
one.

The problem is, no one wants one, so they inventory is not moving
particularly fast and there is no need to make any more cameras to
restock the inventory.

I personally have always wanted one. But every time I handle one, I
remember: that mirror has to go. So I love the square, but I prefer
Rolleiflex. I would have just been using the "normal" lens anyway;
possibly a wide-angle.

Officially it is Christmas Eve here (the big day), 4:45 am. No, I'm
not playing Santa going up early to put presents under the tree.
Couldn't sleep. Drank too much Yerba Mate yesterday.

Good cheer to you all.

Daniel
