What I forgot to mention and what I found interesting about this ad on the
4th page of the just out PDN is that its Sinar Bron Imaging
And no mention no where no how of Rollei anywhere on the page.
Or Franke & Heidecke,
Or Franke & Johnny.


Like there is when you go to the page at the top of the search list on the
internet.
http://www.sinarbron.com/sinar/digital/Hy6.php

And they admit to knowing such people about one paragraph down.

I don't see it on the camera either.
It says "Sinar" in Swiss Modern Sans.

I have a bigger connection to Rollei.
And "Sinar" has always seemed a bit high pie in the sky to me.

In response to the age old question which is better Leica or Hasselblad?
I always answer "Sinar".
Or "Linhof" actually half the time.

But I manage to those images out of the front of my mind.

But watch me sleep you'll see I twitch a lot.
