Is any part of this camera actually from the company that has it's name
on it?
How can you brag about something you cobbled together from other
company's parts?

What parts of it do you believe were _not_ made by the company whose name is
on it?

That's no good for me anyway. I need a camera that can do 69 minute
exposures.

You have to understand large format photography, that is a normal
occurance. Lens makers don't make cameras, film holder manufacturers
make film holders. If Imacon/Hassleblad and Phase One have good backs
why reengineer them. I'll bet you are looking at $40,000 to $50000
camera.
