KC,

Consider  yourself  slapped.

I have quite a few camera outfits, including H,blad, Leica M, Nikon F2, 
Rolleiflex TLR and Leica R.

I assure you that of them all, I would keep the H'blad as my next 
-to-last camera.  I dunno which
would be my last "keeper" outfit.

Large prints from a SWC and a 500CM simply blow away anything from my 
other cameras.

Jerry
