[Leica] Looking for a fast stage event camera

[Howard Cummer]

Hi Richard,
Hope you and the family are well. Please have a look at the Nikon D800E (the E indicating no filter over the sensor).

I just recently sold mine as I move to the Nikon Z mount and looking back at the photos I took with the D800E
it was a great performer for its time and 36mp will still print big if required.

Howard
