Canons / Nikons it doesn't matter. They're both really good cameras and one's "advantage" over the other is dubious at best. I use Nikons because I have had Nikons since 1967 - and all of the lenses will still work on my N-90 - which, by the way, is one of the best cameras I've owned. I still have 2 Nikon F's and an F2. They all are still used on different occasions.

Hasselblad assembled in the far east?? The only thing that's assembled in the far east is the Fuji-built X-Pan. The 6x6's are still made in Sweden It is true that the Zeiss lenses for the Contax cameras are designed by Zeiss and manufactured in Japan, but the Hasselblad lenses are still made by Zeiss in Germany. Or, in a world of conspiracies, the boxes I get labeled "made in Germany" are really fake.

Kodak VS Fuji? Well, it depends upon what you're looking for. The Fuji materials don't "over perform" Kodak materials. They're certainly different but not necessarily better. Right now, my use is Kodak for negative materials and a mixture of Kodak and Fuji for transparency materials. Fuji Velvia may be one of the worst films ever produced - despite the hype from the screaming colors crowd. It is just plain UGLY. Fine grain yes. Good looking? NO.

Black and white film? Despite the fact that Kodak keeps eliminating products, Fuji has yet to produce a really good black and white film that equals a Kodak product. The venerable Verichrome Pan will kick the crap out of any B&W Fuji product. My choice? Either Verichrome Pan or one of the Ilford Delta films.

Canon has a more powerful digital division? Really? That must be why everyone is always playing catchup to the Nikon 35mm film scanners. Canon makes some good digital cameras but the like can be found in the Nikon line.

Final question, what is "AF constriction"? The AF is getting smaller?
