In groups such as rpe.35mm this was discussed a lot in the early decade
and there was some excitement over a device that looked like a 135 film
cassette with a blade going over the exposure area that contained the
sensor. Elegant idea that never came to fruition.

Ah here it is...

ahhh
thanks Alan et al for the contributions
i was asleep when this group came up with bursts of responses --- thanks amigo
if this ny company takes and is still taking 20 years to do something about the
conversion, then the technicality is "enormous"
i think it is a case of "planned strategy" of the digital brotherhoods
i am still hoping to get my hands on one workable cassete to try out on my
nikons
it would be a great pity if my armory of nikkor lenses go to waste when the
silver halide films are long gone not to mention the developing and printing of
it.
i am keeping my fingers crossed ;-))

thanks again all the good perople of rec.photo.equiment.medium-format for the
quick response.
