The argument can go on forever, however I prefer to pay extra 10gs for quality. Peter
I totally agree with you! When you see the Hass image and compare them to any 35mm it is chalk and cheese! Although mine is still only film I can say that the Carl Zeiss lenses for the Hass are astounding and these guys can go on about cost but when you consider that most of the pro photoraphers out there have 2, 3 or even 4 complete dSLR systems on an assignment plus back up cameras and lenses whats the cost of one Hass system campared to that.
As for the flooding issue, I often use 35mm motion cameras in housings (when you consider that these can cost up too $500k per system) I have never lost a camera to flooding! And I only hire the cameras and lenses from a rental company. Guys, these are not consumer housings and are designed for the work they do and it is the same with the Hass housings. If you ever get to use one you will understand the difference! See attached Photo's of 35mm motion camera housing.
