Re: RE-35 flexisensor
David, if I could take digital picture with my MX, KX, SuperA beleive me I would. The thing is, this is the last thing manufacturers want us to get. If something like this hits the street, a lot less people will buy DSLRs. As for sensor performance, just get the next version of this RE35 or whatever name it gets. That way, digital would be enjoyable as possible. To be perfect digital'd use film :p 2011/4/4 David Parsons : > Have you ever seen a digital back?

Surely that is something to work with? If not, a corrector lens could be placed at the LX film plane to alter the plane of focus by the amount needed to fit a sensor to the back. The shake reduction mechanism could then occupy the dial data back compartment. Other circuitry would sit off to the left and in the film cartridge area. A little snip snip could prepare the take-up compartment into another hole in which electronics could be packed. This description and the methodology I release into the public domain.
