[OM] Digital Back, Again

[Winsor Crosby]

It may have been out for a while already, but I tend to not notice 
what is going on in non-Oly photography any more. There are large ads 
in some of the current mags on the news stand for a new Mamiya 645 
with interchangeable backs, 120, 220, or digital. Very cool.
I wonder whether the angle of view is the same between the film backs 
and the digital. That would be a large CCD if not. Perhaps the 
digital back activates a mask in the viewfinder.
Now why couldn't Oly have done something like that for the OM3/4Ti 
till they were able to bring out the perfect digital system camera - 
which they have not done yet.  If the parameters of lenses for film 
and for CCDs are so different(we believe that, right?) they could 
have brought out a digital kit including the back and a zoom from one 
of the IS models in an OM mount. And since none of that is available 
used even some of us might have bought.
Oh well. Sorry to beat a dead horse.
