Fortunately, there are other justification besides sheer image IQ. Otherwise we will all have to sell our kidneys and other parts to get the IQ180 :-) Lets put in on record that you were one the enablers to tell me "go ahead, get that M7," and then bug me "wait til you try the Hassy V" My will is now much stronger, the P45+ siren song holds no power. OK, just a wee bit, but it's academic :-) On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 11:42 PM, Bob Adler <rgacpa at yahoo.com> wrote: > My P45+ stitched in portrait orientation (18mm shift on each side) with the > 35mm lens gives a rough equivalent of a medium format 17.5mm lens.
