I was at the National Zoo in Washington, DC< several weeks back and shoot a roll of 127 Kodacolor 200 with my Baby Grey, a neat little piece. Yes, F&H is very much in business and the 2.8GX and FX have sold quite well. The new Rolleiwide and Tele-Rolleiflex have had some problems getting into the marketplace but seem to be doing well. I have yet to SEE an FX or the Wide and Tele, as I am at least a two hour drive from the nearest Rollei dealer. I own a bunch of Hasselblad stuff, as well. Fun cameras and, in the darkroom, Medium Format REALLY trumps miniature format (35mm). Negatives big enough to swim in. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
