Funny you should say that. Since used Hassy kits are quite cheap nowadays,
it makes a great fixed lens camera. (I.e. the lens is fixed because the
prices for other lenses are so outrageous that most people will never buy
one.) It's a more cost effective way of acquiring a camera with a recent
f/2.8 80mm Planar than the Rolleiflex TLR.

Well, don't a lot of Hassys, like Leicas, get sold to idiots with too much
money for their own good? For that market, looks matter. And we need all the
sales we can get.
