What would be ideal is a back which uses existing, cheaper, 5MP
CCDs and has an optical concentrator (not a 1.4x, rather a .5x) which
would
- increase the light intensity by 2 stops (1.5"linear -> .666")
- re-point the light more vertically into the pixels
- protect the CCD from dust.
- use much the same electronics as the E-20 (

0 )
Then every lens would become 2 stops faster.
We could still use our lenses & flashes, even if the winders become
redundant.
