I've been told by the local importer that pre-release orders have 
soaked up all of the first six months deliveries of the digi modul R.

I'd love one but am wondering how well the pics will enlarge to 20 x 30 
inch.  A digi back would make using my home made infra red trigger so 
much easier. I'd be able to assess how well I've got the IR beam and 
the camera lined up straight away.  On this, I had a though the other 
day - would it be possible to stick a piece of polaroid film in an R8 
and take a test shot?  Does one have to have a polaroid back?
