Eric,
I agree to some extent since I have owned the 6x9 Fuji Rangefinders( both
the 90mm and 65mm versions) and still own the Pentax 67 system, (including
the 45mm, 55mm, 100mm macro) however, I have also honed my Photoshop skills
over the last 20 years so that scans of shots taken with any of these
cameras & lenses can lead to breathtaking images without the sterile
or clinical look often associated with this, or other, very sharp glass.
