[Leica] New Digital (?) Rangefinder Rumor

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

I take your point well Frank.
Which is why I'm trying to keep my end of the discussion
on my own subjective assessment of the systems I've used.

Yet, no one has offered an answer as to:
why do the the high end medium format back manufacturers choose to  
use CCD's?

The fact that they make that choice leads me to a belief
which is reinforced by my own experience.

To my knowledge the only medium format company that tried Cmos was Leaf
and the back was a total flop that can be picked up for chump change  
on the used market.
