Well perhaps it's worth considering the relative costs one of the last times a similar HasselFuji produced a camera that required MF lenses (albeit manual focus) with the XPan. Way back in 2005 the body was $1800, the 45mm $550, 90mm $660 and the 30mm ... $2750. :shocked:
Anyway, just a thought. I realize that these are different systems but I've yet to run into a super wide that wasn't a LOT more expensive than normal focal lengths. (I can also relate to how much my Alpa SK 24mm and Alpa Rodie 23HR lenses cost too compared to more mortal focal lengths, well at least before the Rodie 32HR & 90HRSW came along).

Heck, we all have budgets. My lottery retirement plan hasn't worked out quite yet and I guess I've never had the desire to participate in true white collar crime. I guess that I should have kept chasing startups or working in the City after all. :ROTFL:Seems a bit over the top to be cautionary about affordability when you're talking $9000 and up bodies and $4000 to $12,000 lenses ... !
