all good comments. I actually left out the MAIN reason for adding this system AF!.
Yes the Contax has it, but it is slow and can select the wrong object just at the wrong time.
How is the speed and accuracy of the AF? There SHOULD be a spot focus option-if not, how can a FF system ever get it right? With the Contax I trick it by locking focus and then re-composing. Rather have it work like the newer Nikon systems, that seem to have ESP!
I am usually a brand name person, but there comes a limit; is the Hassey H3D like a Rolls or a MB. I have driven the latter since 1973-never disappointed. Tried a Rolls and it screamed for a chaufeur! (it also felt like a boat. Too over the top. The HB doesnt seem over the top. Maybe it is a MB to the Hy6 "BMW"
In which case I will get the HB :ROTFL:
No seriously, the Sinar/Hy6 is the one right now to beat.
I make decisions in a very simple way; I select an option that seems pretty good, that I could live with (that means just about EVERY MF system, incl Kodak and Mamiya).
Thyen I look for a reasonable, though not lomg period (say a month). If nothing BETTER comes along I buy. If not the dominating system takes over for another month.
It is called "Dominance decicion making" Old stuff in consulting. Really, just common sense, but takes longer than a straight 'head-to-heat'
oops typo....or is it, maybe we really have head to HEAT decisions here
thx all, it really is helping

PS Just so you do not think this is for naught, I actually bought the R9/DMR system sight unseen based on discussions on the " NOT TO BE MENTIONED" siute by Guy. Same for M8. When you buy quality and experienced people talk it up (and dont have a piece of the action) it works.
so, now I need a reason to say "H3D is better than Hy6/sinar 74LV. The latter is the current decision;
ok you H3D owners, why should I move H3D into trhe top position?
