With all respect, the stuff from Harrison and Harrison is really strong,
US-made, material.  It is nto the sort of foreign cheap crap which we find
in most US camrea stores.  Pay for junk, you get junk.  Buy quality, you
get quality.  I forget the name of that jerky Japanese firm that sold
Hasselblad filter adapters a decade back.  I used to have to buy another
every month because they failed so often.  H&H stuff is QUALITY stuff:  the
rings I bought in 1993 still work properly today.

Once the Indians learn that quality sells, they too will have a place in
this but in the meantime, I can only say that they are bitplayers without a
track record.
