I'm trying to figure out if the difference in the distance between the sensor and protective glass on the DMR and the same on a digital only SLR camera is significant. If it is then it might be a reason for not going with a digital back for any film camera. On film cameras the idea was to get the shutter as close to the film as possible. This might prove a hinderance when adapting to digital. On a conventional SLR or an M the distance between film and shutter is I would guess less than 3mm. Perhaps the R8 has the shutter farther foward. If so then they may have designed it with digital in mind from the start.
