Digital BW, The Print

As I have noted before, a well-connected and well-known reviewer whispered
to me that he believes moves are afoot to "reinvent" Contax.... PhaseOne
contimues to support Contax with the new backs.  I'd love to see Phase One
acquire the Contax MF division.  The shutdown costs could well exceed the
value of the division and so Phase One could well acquire it for almost
nothing. It ain't over yet so don't be tossing that equipment too soon...
