Re: Imacon vs. "The Others"

["Dave King" <kingphoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are as many (if not more) "lowly" Pentax 67's and Mamiya RZ's in
continuous use by the top working pros as Hassies and especially Rollies.
The real differences in modern glass are nil, and both the Pentax and Mamiya
offer more "real estate" on film.  That's why pros have switched to them in
droves.
