a no-brainer is a product of a healthy company.That's what I call a no-brainer
P21+ ;-)re-badged P20+
Jenoptik makes the Sinar backs (and owns Sinar). Last I heard they were making an annual profit in the region of $1bn - actually the most healthy of all MFDB makers.a no-brainer is a product of a healthy company.
The e54LV might be a no-brainer price-wise.
The phrasing was likely the result of a press release written not-in-English and then translated into English.To me, ...."2.2" LCDs featuring a Live Preview mode" implies that the preview is available on the LCD, which if these are merely the re-badged items they appear to be clearly isn't the case... anyone know any more?
Actually, they are re-badged P21+, P25+, and P30+ for the global market, including the USA. I got a MAC Group dealer memo a few days ago telling me of the "new" Mamiya backs with the next line reading, "yes, they are Phase backs."OR re-badged P20+, P25+ and P30+ for the EU market?
,
Not sure of USA pricing yet, but they are going to be sold through any and all Mamiya digital dealers who want them.
$1Bn profit would have been nice, butJenoptik makes the Sinar backs (and owns Sinar). Last I heard they were making an annual profit in the region of $1bn - actually the most healthy of all MFDB makers.
$1Bn profit would have been nice, but
it wasn't so.
actually DID make some money about $15million. Turnover in 2008 was under $1Bn ($3/4 B)
2009 will be an interesting year to watch for all.

Exactly what I heard also Steve. NOTHING is finalNot necessarily.
Also, I would say that Mac Group is jumping the gun a bit. There is much that has not been finalized.

Sorry but your talking Jenopik as a whole company , Sinar is a very small piece of it. Jenoptik has it's hands in many many things. Break the Sinar part off of it and it maybe a different story altogether. Could actually be running at a loss.Jenoptik makes the Sinar backs (and owns Sinar).

I was correcting the inference that Sinar backs were made by a company on the verge of bankruptcy. This is far from the truth. And yes of course they are involved in many other activities but that's the whole point - it's a diverse and healthy company making these backs.Sorry but your talking Jenopik as a whole company , Sinar is a very small piece of it.
