ahah !

As Alan has mentioned, this system can use the lenses designed for the
6008i
series of cameras. So, there are a full range of lenses available.

None of them actually made by Leaf. They can't take on Hasselblad, or
Phase, or.....

All of them having a leaf shutter...

By the way: none of the lenses you can put on a Hasselblad camera are made
by Hasselblad. Perhaps that could be a reason too why Hasselblad can't take
on Hasselblad either? ;-)

Hasselblad is a direct competitor of Leaf, and vice cersa, since the
Hasselblad H-cameras too are no more than a platform to take Imablad digital
backs. In a similar way, Sinar and Leaf commissioned Franke and Heidecke to
build a platform for their respective digital backs.
The Hasselblad camera takes Fujinon lenses. The Leaf camera takes Zeiss or
Schneider lenses.
And both use Kodak (Leaf's owner) sensors. ;-)
