It required the camera to be tripod mounted, and took > an eternity to shoot ONE picture. That's called a scanning back. It's really strictly for studio use (I have a couple of them, and they produce astounding images, but are of limited use). There are one-shot backs available, and they are quite good, but that is really a different animal than turning a Leica M into a digital camera, and they, also, are of limited use. > Javier would be asking for major surgery to be done on the > M body before it could be mated to a mythical digi-back. > (Should I copyright the name "Digi-back"?) Hence why I believe a whole new body would be easier! Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
