From what I undersand (and I'm NOT an optics expert), light from traditional optics resolves rather differently on CCDs than on film. That's because the CCD is in the form of, essentially, a gridwork instead of a continual plane. That's why Rodenstock and Schneider are coming up with a line of LF lenses for digital work (that, or it's all marketing!). I'd appreciate commentary on this from someone with more technical knowledge.

The lenses may/could work fine. But the fine details and micro-bokeh-fuzzy-artsy stuff will be lost...... thjerfore a $2 lens would equal in quality a $10000 lens. And therein is the point..... a Digital Leica camera is basically a waste of money, IF you are trying to get more than what analog film + scanning can do for you.....
