Was there ever any attempt by any company to produce a digital back for the contax AX?
I googled around but found nothing except data backs which is not what im looking for
Somebody must have thought of/tried something like this for the AX? |
Due to the build of the camera and of the way it works, I think it's VERY unlikely that a digital back for it will ever be built: it would imply a moving sensor of accurate precision in the Micron range, and the cost of it for what is basically a dead system would certainly be (to borrow Woeltche's definition of his 1.2/85 performance) "astral". |
Thanks Orio.
yeah ... the logic surely works against a digital back. Would have been nice to have.
