It takes a lot of perseverance to get a response from them. I suspect they have very few repair staff from my own experiences.

Quite distopian - or heading that way!

There is an astrotracer standalone unit on Ebay right now. (No idea if it's good value or not).

I disagree entirely with the 'downside' of FF lenses costing a lot of money - OK brand new ones, perhaps but there is a huge collection of (for example) Soviet glass out there that is very affordable and very very good. AND you can use them to advantage on your crop frame cameras. Some classics like Flektogons, Trioplans, 85mm and 20mm offerings do cost a bomb (but so does a Pentax DA*300, which will halve its value the second the postman delivers it !).

That was exactly my reaction to it Karlo. Why pay that extortionate price when you can get better on Ebay? e.g., an analogue *ist.
Also, how are the developing houses reacting to having to do twice the work, upload twice the number of shots (or indeed, print twice the number of shots)? And, at the end of the day, if you are going to digitize the images and electronically manipulate them, why use film to capture them in the first place?

Not having used one I was expecting distorted views but these are all lovely renderings of what appears to be a very nice place to visit.

It is too - although it looks pretty good without!

They are both very nice but the mono one is far more dramatic (to my eye, anyway).

Thank you for the effort that went into this lot and for sharing them with us. The titles of the sets conveyed your intent and you succeeded wonderfully.
