    I have to say that I don't get it. I know that digital is popular and, in some ways, easier, but, I cannot see the market dump of really nice film cameras. This camera should have cost around $2000.00 +/-. I'm not complaining, mind you, just don't understand how film is being so under rated in what only seems like a year or two. Ahhh, but then, I may be showing my age!
    Bronica went out of business recently. This means that not only there will be no new cameras but repairs may become difficult one day.
