Mr. Wilidi has been in Hassleblad's pocket for years... He'd > never get a negative remark like that by Hasselblad. Do you base this claim on speculation or do you know something firsthand? I do not believe Hasselblad either has him 'in their pockets', or proofs his books, do you know that they do, or are you speculating? I find that kind of funny. You would consider it a 'negative remark' (no pun intended), when I consider it an 'operational note', that is, if it were true ;-) I guess one can read anything into anything they want, to make it mean anything they want to make it mean....
