Subject: [Leica] Was 6x17 lust, now Noblex Oblige

Does anyone in the group have experience with the Noblex cameras, in 
particularly the model 150? While the 6 x 12 format yields a less extreme 
aspect ratio (1:2 instead of 1:3) the curved platen and revolving lens seem 
to make a wider angle of  acceptance than the 617 cameras.  I'm wondering 
about reliability, and about distortion.  Anyone have any thoughts on the 
subject?  /David
