WOW

 

This is fantastic! If I sell all my other photo equipment, perhaps I can afford one.

 

Porsche, Maybach, Hermes M and now I can have a lens that matches the colours of the rest. I must however keep the 8 x 10 Shen Hao that has my name engraved on it so I can use the lens.

 

George Eastman and his 2 dollar Brownie are a long time gone. I remember reading in one AA's books that he had to resist buying a lens because it cost $40.

 

Nice to see anyway.

 

Cheers

No, people will just be sitting at their computers and discussing the digital vs. film debate...

 

... But Schneider says it in their introduction: "On the one hand, digital photography is also booming in the area of the specialized camera, on the other, an increasing number of photo enthusiasts for photography worldwide are opting for very large cut-film formats between 8"x10" and 20"x24", in order to achieve a maximum in sharpness, reproduction of detail, and richness of tone values."

 

There we are... if there wasn't a market, they wouldn't be making the lenses...
