I would consider buying Sinar - if I could secure the services of LL to push the product - you know like the great job he has done slagging off @ Hasselblad and ignoring every other back maker - except you know umm which backs does he like again?
Am I a touch too cynical? Yes - way too cycnical to invest one dollar of mine or my clients money in these soon to be terminated companies - victims of their own high margin low return business models.
It is truly scary whats going on and sad..very sad for craftsmanship

For me it isnt about the tool to do a job, because I have realised years ago that pretty much they all do the job and everything else is just - well everything else.
There is a pleasure working with the right tool that fits your hand which cant be objectified or rationalised. This pleasure is just as real - and perhaps more important than the raw files to be manipulated in software that they all produce.
If I didnt marvel at the magic of glass and the wonder at the mechanical and electrical genius of the construction of these things we call cameras, if teaching myself the beauty of shifts and tilts rises and falls wasnt fun - well my friend
I woudl buy a P&S with a 28m fixed lens and give it to my wife to make family snaps and find another hobby like ..maybe ..the search for the perfect Martini.
