If they can't keep up with the demand, it sound slike they have one lone guy screwing together hand-made 67's. :) Only 700? Wow. That's actually really depressing, makes me wonder if I should try and unload my 645 stuff now or pray for some sort of re-kindled interest as the "fine art" crew decides that the new chacet is "silver print" and I can start calling myslef an artiste! > Hard to believe that Medium Format (at least new stuff) will be around for > much longer - except maybe Hassy, just 'cause they are who they are. I still don't fear film disappearing, there's too much of a worldwide market for that sort of thing, I'll just be forced to buy Arista and Maco and other odd brands from the Ukraine or Samoa or somewhere.. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
