No, but you most likely have never seen it's 19mm/f4.5 circular
fisheye either....;))
And while there is no digital equivalent of that configuration, I
could be persuaded to increase my hunt for the 35mm/f4.5 wide-angle
(for 30 years the widest MF-lens on this planet!) if I could shoot
digital with it.
(6x6 or 4.5x6 is just a tad too small to show the extra quality over
35mm film in real slide-projection (quite easy to do with 6x12cm
panorama frames), so this 35mm/f4.5 wide-angle only makes sense when
shooting straight ot digital)
(and if only because modern 28/35mm MF-wideangles are 10x more
expensive....8-))

But even Hasselblad and Rollei lack the automatic film-blind that the
Kowa Super 66 magazines have....;))
