But it's very anti-Leica in that it's not portable. But the pictures are something like 75-100 megs each! :-) I'd love to have a digital back on my F5. I've been told me a Kodak technician that no one wants to invest the million dollars it will take to put on on the F5. But rumor has it Marty Forscher's Professional Camera has already done it, and they will be out soon. Let's hope. But Leica is smart to keep the motors off the body, that makes it a much better platform for digital imaging. By the way, I'm using digital right now with a company pool camera, and will be almost 100 per cent digital in January. But I bought a Leica M6 and 35 Summilux Aspheric to back me up where digital suffers the most. And personal work. ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO God is REAL, unless explicitly declared INTEGER.
