When your guess about Nikon is coupled with an obvious distortion that denigrates R - a camera system you've never used - how do we conclude otherwise? When you use facts I can take you seriously but when you keep slipping distortions and half-truths into your pronouncements your credibility takes a nosedive. > As an observer of the photo scene I find the introduction at this point of > a new high-end film 35 - from a > company that already produces a terrific high-end 35 film workhorse, > puzzling, to say the least.

Presuming that this as-yet-unannounced product is fully swappable while the R back isn't and you're inflating the price of the R back suggests a bias.
