500CM from MegaVision and expect to meet with the president of the 
company next week to have it delivered and tested. The sensor is full 
frame 35mm size and will be 11 megapixels. Five years ago I partnered 
with MegaVision to use their technology in the ophthalmic imaging 
field and since I also do my personal fine art work, the idea of 
having a monocrome sensor has always interested me. We use the 
mononchrome sensor in ophthalmic imaging applications and the results 
are beautiful. The idea for MegaVision is to have me see how I like 
it, both in use and for quad tone printing (I use Piezography), and 
then they might start offering it as a product. I will let the group 
know how it goes. Since I only get this list in digest form and tend 
to travel a lot, should there be any post regarding the monochrome 
back, it might take me a while to respond.
