It kind of looks like a cross between a Hassy H and a 35mm type DSLR Ok I see its a back on a Mamiya 645 type camera ZD under 10 grand S2 15 grand ZD 36mm x 48mm (1,728sq mm's area) S2 30mm x 45mm (1,350sq mm's area) ZD 22 mega pixel S2 37.5 megapixel Leica glass Summicrons made by real Solms and Wetzlar Gnomes Mamiya glass Mamiya Sekor glass. Really probably very nice but nothing to get all warm and fuzzy about. This is the option which is going to cross a few photographers minds who want to own the stuff and not just rent it. 22 mp's sounds low but we know the quality is going to be there. (1,728sq mm's area) makes for roomy large pixel grabbers. I'd like to know what the high end iso's are going to be for both systems. In medium format digital photography the high end, unlike 24x36mm digital photography is crimped off low. Inexplicable! mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner
