Jim,

over the past two years you have made abundantly clear that digital and film
cameras do not mix. You have given us more information on the subject that
could be obtained from other sources. And your prediction have indeed been
proven true.

I have a question regarding the same subject. How do the digital backs for
unmodified Hasselblad , Mamiya 645, and view cameras handle the marriage of
digital to film cameras? Although not exactly desirable, why could the same
not be done for any 35mm camera?

Thanks,

Joseph Codispoti
