"only"  $44K.  ( Camera body, lens(es), are extra.....)  This is the price
of the "film" only.

Note.. About the same price per MP as a:
Leica M when you include a couple of Lux lenses........... 
or an S, body for back

For those that care... or are just plain curious, the back is capable of
making a print of roughly 30x40 inches, at 300 DPI, without inventing new
pixels. 
And have a few left over.....
Your M240 can do roughly a 16x20.

16Bit color depth
15 Bits of dynamic range.... remember Velvia with maybe 5 Bits?  B+W film
with about 8 Bits?

No Exposure meter needed......., well, not really.....

A new 100MP back is available from Phase One...
