Subject: [Leica] New phillips imaging chip

I happened to run across the MAC regional rep today as he was showing off
the new "Leaf" back designed for the AF Mamiya 645.  It is a full frame 35
size and the results were stunning; sample prints allegedly from the back,
no realtime images this time.  However, for capture it needed to be tethered
to a computer so we are back to the pin hole Mosler safe for street
photography.

Who knows, maybe in a few years the power requirements and file size
requirements will let this become a portable system.
