3003 Cartridge:  Yes!  I've thought and dreamed about it.

Maybe one day, if I find a trashed full-frame DSLR, I could recover the sensor 
and the electronics, though I doubt I have good enough technical skills....

question on M

Aha! we dream the same dreams!! :-)

And would a digital back for the 3003 go down well, too?

Sadly never to be- at least not unless I win the jackpot of the national

Braunschweig and ask what the new Franke and Heidecke boffins can do.
