Leica: innovations on BW and MF CMOS chips

[fotografz]

Hi Marc
If rumours are correct, there may well be a digital Xpan on the horizon....

Rumor: Hasselblad to introduce a new family of digital cameras at Photokina (digital X-Pan?) | Photo Rumors

Now that would make my day!

Cheers, Sinuhe

I'm more interested in the smaller MFD camera that has been long rumored, and supposedly is close to completion ... especially if it is a dual shutter body, or even if it is a focal plane camera as a supplement to my H4D/60 leaf shutter system. However, if it requires a whole new set of lenses, they can keep it as far as I'm concerned ... unless Zeiss makes a few special lenses for it in H mount.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Dual shutter would be great - I still have an old Zeiss 250 mm f4.0, and the 110mm f2.0 would be a great addition....
That said, the Xpan was a favourite for quite a while, and is still used - but scanning the Velvia film is a hassle.
