Paul sold his rolleidoscop about 6 months ago... from the looks of it,
he hadn;t used it in quite a few years. He has at least one MF viewer
which I have seen which was notably superior to the KI (I don't remember
the name; it is a million years old and obscure), though I don't think
it had achromats or focused. I think he may have a dutch custom high
grade MF viewer as well...

I think Paul simply believes in 35 mm because he does lots of macros,
because of standardization, and because he could project. Remember that
when he started MF was the rule and 35 mm was the exception, so this was
a conscious choice on his part. In fact (as I've posted to this list
previously), he hacked an MF camera into a 35 mm close-up camera, and
uses this odd beasty to this day...
