Hi Carlos,

I said that I believed it contributed to it.  How significant, I am
guessing.  Given the number of Hasselblads sold and that, at least for me
and I'd guess many others, the alternative, if no Hasselblad existed, would
be the Rollei.  I have to believe it's reasonably significant, at least in
terms of sales numbers/revenue of the high end TLRs.

Regards,

Austin
