Digital BW, The Print

Even if you could get the clearance, I'm not sure it would work.  The
impression that I got from Leaf was that there was a synchronization problem
between the focal plan shutters and the backs.  They said that if they had
made it work it would have only been usable at the flash sync shutter
speed...which I think is 1/90 of a second with the FE lenses.

Its just incredible to me that someone can't make the top of the line
Hasselblads work with a digital back.  Its like telling me to trade the
Ferrari in for a Ford to put the new Pirrelli's on.

Oh...an analogy...I didn't mean it...honest.
