Peter et al.

I just bought an early postwar 4.5x6 Ikonta with 75mm Tessar and if the lens is any good I will have it overhauled by Ed Smolov for a pocketable folder. A lot more satisfaction than this $2250 Fuji-"Bessa".

However, a Rolleiwide is a dream of mine too. The 75 or 80 mm standard TLR lenses can be very limiting for interior shots and architecture in narrow streets. Requires a lot of "pars pro toto" thinking.
Maybe I should start looking for Bay IV filters and lens hood ;-)

I am with you. $2250 is a lot of cash. I can find a Rolleiwide for that
price.
