We can only be patient for so long. The software was announced two years ago. With updates that it will be released in weeks being posted after all questions about it, it seems logical to be patient. But I have been asking about it for over a year and each time there is an estimate of a few weeks. With the cost of the camera back, I would think there would be more concrete info available. Tell me it will be available in six months and they have it available. Recently it was stated that it would be released at Photokina this year, with the Mac and PC version coming out at the same time. Then it was in about three weeks. That would put it around October 15. Now, its another few weeks. Around this time last year, it was stated it would be out after the 1st of the year. A year ago. I am tired of being patient with all the money we have invested in the Sinar system.
