Because (and a lot of friends have been snared by this) you can get a
Hassy body and standard lens for small money, but as soon as you want
anything else, just stick a knife in your wallet and bleed it dry in
your camera shop. You're probably looking at 5 times Pentax price for
a lens, especially a wide angle.
Currently, I'm thinking about a 135/f4 macro for Pentax 6x7 for about
USD200. How much is that going to be for a Hassy equiv? Someone tell
us please.
