Hmm, a Swedish photo 'zine testing CZ's, lenses which are used exclusively
on Hasselblad -- another Swede... IMHO, may this be a case of "familiarity
breeds contempt", or "a family feud" (i.e. not enough Hassy ads in FOTO) ?
Or, maybe this is the first sign of the impending divorce between Hassy
and Carl Zeiss? After all, Kyocera recently introduced a MF Contax (645)
-- with CZ lenses(!), whereas Hasselblad is about to release a 35mm true
panoramic camera -- with body and lenses made by Fuji.
IOW, I hate to be suspicious of the photographic press (yeah, right :-)),
but I do smell a rat...
