Digital BW, The Print

I heard of someone here in Zurich who has fastened his Canon 1DS MkII to a
Sinar/Rodenstock combination(!!). Got someone to fashion a backplate from a
canon lens mount. Don't know if it's true. Must only be using a fraction of
the lens coverage.

It seems the MF folks (Mamiya, etc.) are still commited to new
R&D and delivering ever more fantastic primes, like Leica and
Zeiss in the 135 format.  Canon and Nikon seem to spend the vast
majority of their attention on producing new zoom lenses.

I'm not a Canon shooter, but I've read that Contax and Leica
primes were gaining new popularity on the Canon digital bodies.
