While the price seems prohibitive for me, Iıd really enjoy my 85/1.4 becoming a 110/1.4. I have not been seeing real wide for quite a number of years (age? dunno?).
On the ³not full frame discussion² - Itıs simply a shift in thinking about your gear. When Iım in view camera land, I love the fact that I can take my deardorf out with 8x10, 5x7 and 4x5 backs and with a few lenses have a wide array of framing choices.
On the ³no good for sports discussion² - I havenıt shot sports professionally in decades. So for my professional concerns this Leica digital back feels very right:
Digital Portraiture using current system? Yes.
Digital Corporate/Annual Report. Yes.
Digital Special event using current system? Yes.
Digital Landscape / Nature using current system? Yes.
Digital Fine art using current system? Yes.
Digital Architecture using current system? Partial (no super-wide)
So, when an art director or editor says, ³can you do it digital?² 98% of the time I could say yes.
Fond regards,
