原文描述
After 4 years of research, a group of self financing enthusiasts in the UK have produced what many thought was impossible: a digital back which can be retro-fitted onto any film Leica M camera. Codenamed "LOOFA1," the modular back is compatible with all Leica M models from the venerable M2/M3 of the 1950’s to the current M7. The modification required to the existing camera is minimal. The flap at the back has to be removed and the digital back attaches in its place. Power comes from lithium batteries stored where the film canister would have been previously. The sensor is a 12MP full frame CMOS unit, believed to be canibalised from an existing DSLR model (possibly Canon 5Dmk1 or Nikon D700). The necessary circuitry and solid-state memory (only 8MB at present) are contained in the modular back. There is no LCD display for chimping but images may be downloaded to a computer via a USB cable. The group claim that this is in keeping with the Zen-like philosophy of Leica film photography, ie you don’t know what you have got until you get home but you know it will be good.
The developers claim that the output from the modular back is easily as good as most current DSLRs and rivals the Leica M9. How the developers have overcome the problem of vignetting is not clear. At present, the developers are working on reducing the size of the unit, although it does not appear to be excessively bulky as it is. It is believed that a certain German company has approached the group with a view to buying out the entire project.
When asked about potential retail price of such a product, the group was coy but estimated £1411 approximately. They are taking orders and say a small number of units will be available at the beginning of April. Sounds like a bargain to me ;-)
