It's beautiful looking but this is perfect territory for digital
experimentation. No limit to the holy of holys, 27.8mm registration
distance. No limit to what a rabid subscriber base wants and expects
from a product. Someone has the ability to revolutionize the compact
digital market with a folding camera and a square or 6:7 ratio digital
sensor with some significant acreage. yeah, it might wind up costing as
much as an M9 or more, but heck, those are selling, so why not a
folding digital with a first rate lens and a sensor that has been
optimized for use with just that very lens?
