Looks good, but the price will probably put off anyone currently using a D3 or a EOS 1Ds, it may however steal some Hassy users.

Crazy thought, there have been rumours about a Nikon MX format (Medium format) but maybe this could be similar to the direction of this rumoured MX format. I like how the rumours suggest a new line of MX lenses but an adaptor for F-mount DX and FX lenses. If that is true then maybe a NIkon MX would sell, provided it was at a sane price.

No problem hiding my wallet, it went running out the room when I saw the price :shock:

Certainly interesting times.
