Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Alejandro.  The lens is available now at B&H for $1799.

Eight thousand is in my opinion way out of line for a digital camera
with only 4.2 megapixels. You can get the 6 megapixel Contax or the
Kodak 760 for less. Or the nikon DX.  I know the new D1 is going to be a
dream camera, but for that kind of money it must be at least, at the
Very least, 6 megapixels.
