Sorry, but the 6X6 format isn't very popular and industrywise it is seen as dying. The new Hasselblad use 6X4,5 and is directly targeted at their core professional buyers. The reson for this move is pretty obvious. I have no problem with the fact that some prefer the square format but the arguments they use doesn't make sense something thats proved by the direction the market is moving in. Pål
