Don't forget its capability of taking 70mm perforated film (HIE!), 
*and* offering true (IR-corrected) APO lenses....;-))
Only too bad they don't offer an extreme rectilinear wide-angle 
lens....but that's what panorama cameras are good for....;-))

PS scanning: does anyone in this newsgroup happen to have (experience with) 
the older Leaf 45, Leaf 35, or Leaf 35/faximile (cooperation between Leaf and 
Associated Press)? Preferably even in combination with the later 
introduced PC-software? A 45 might be my next step between medium 
format/panorama and web images....
Please mail me privately if you have any info/experience with these 
old dinosaurs.
