![]() It's the rest of the digital back: control system, storage, display, etc. So, for the sensor, the R&D budget is trivial. The ones Kodak makes for Leica are tuned specifically for rangefinder lenses, and the Kodak sensors can be purchased in small quantities. Offset microlenses are actually easy to build, Kodak uses them on 1.3x and FF sensors sold to Leica, Sony hast them on FF sensors used by Nikon and Sony, Canon has them for use on their own FF cameras. That microprism is not so complicated to build, but the user base of the G2 is so small because the system wan on the market only briefly as cameras go that I think recovering the R&D investment would be difficult.Īctually, the sensor needs offset microlenses, not a microprism. The reason is that the wider angle lenses are designed for film capture and, as such, they deliver light at angles that will not work with a digital sensor without a microprism in front of the sensor. I would buy it, but I doubt it will ever be made.
