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.
