Yes, I am thinking more sharpness, less flare/diffraction, and designed to help with color fringing. Since digital sensors are shinny, they can reflect more light than film and can cause flare which can cause diffraction. The digital chips that record our images have to do what film does, but they do it in a much smaller area, meaning the finer details get squeezed down. So we need higher-resolution lenses that help limit flare/diffraction. I do not know if manufactures use more lens coatings on a digital lens or a different type of coating altogether, but they also have to address digital sensitivity towards color fringing. I do think they are different from their film-based examples, but exactly where and if it is easier, cheaper or the opposite to manufacture, I do not know. But for me, I do not have to process film and I love the immediate feedback! This alone is worth gold to me in terms of time and stress when it comes to shooting commercially. I am new with the digital back + view camera, but I am already hooked!Beautiful picture Darr. Do you think that a Digital lens will really make a difference ? In my case I have a Sinar Back 54M , 49mm x 37mm, 9 microns.
Thanks

(1) Your English is just fine! I make my perspective corrections in Photoshop -- this is one reason I made the switch to digital -- so I can do my darkroom sitting down and see the results before I print. Trying to see corrections on a ~6.45 cm area is difficult.I have a lot of questions for you before "pull the trigger".
1 ) How do you compensate the lack of rear tilt of the M-Line Two when , in order to level the sensor plane ,you have to tilt the whole camera ( "up" to take a picture of tall building, "down" in macro photography for example ) Whish you can understand my question. My English is not the best.
I do not use the 47mm with the M2 as it is mounted exclusively for use with an Alpa camera.2 ) How do you focus with the M-Line Two / 47mm Digitar combo ? Groundglass, Live View ?. I spend a lot of time with both methods with my Ebony 45SU ( with Slvestri 6x loupe ) and Sinar x ( with LC Shutter ) . Just want to know if it wil be easier or more precise with th M-Line Two.Whish you can understand my question. My English is not the best.
