I thought the Kodak DCS Pro SLR/n would be the answer but it had too many problems to be a "decent" camera. --Bob Fately (from a Nikon List) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- Bob seems unhappy with the Kodak DCS and escoriates Nikon for not producing digital backs for existing pro 35mm film cameras. Leica has one, I believe the latest R8. He seems concerned about his lens armory. They can be used with Nikons like the D70, for example. Is he crying in his beer? However, we who own M lenses will have no such problem, because I assume the digital M body will accept my good old f1.5 50mm Summarit without any qualification.
