Originally posted by Quicksand I give it a 8.7/10 for now. I may upgrade the score if we get a full-fledged member-against-member flame war, complete with ad hominem attacks, before any official confirmation or denial from Ricoh/Pentax.
I'll add some style points because Asahiflex is the OP. He doesn't fool around with useless stuff. There must be some smoke here. Interchangeable viewfinders has been a theme for 18 months or so. D-LX 2012 Asahiflex 60th anniversary, etc.
FWIW, I think Ricoh is playing close to the vest; I think there's a LOT of good stuff coming; I think their game is to change the game and I think once they start making announcements and releasing stuff it's going to be one after another after another - Boom - Boom - BOOM - BOOM - Boom BOOM - Boom BOOM - like 4th of July Fireworks finale, except longer.
A dark Cave. In the middle, a Caldron boiling. Thunder. Enter the three Witches.
1 W
ITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.

ITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.

ITCH. Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!
1 W
ITCH. Round about the caldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
A
LL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 W
ITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
A
LL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
3 W
ITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' mummy; maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark;
Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark;
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,—
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.
A
LL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 W
ITCH. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
