This is good news indeed, regarding the battery.
On the other side, my experience in the field using the Aptus 75, is that the battery runs flat before you know it. If it's cold outside the battery sometimes just lasts for a couple of minutes. Because of this I find myself carrying batteries inside my jacket to keep them warm, and I find it a bit impractical to fish batteries out of my jacket each time something interesting grabs my attention. (And yes, I turn off the back as soon as it's not in use.)
So, do you have plans for a bettery in the league of for instance Canon's 1- series batteries, which just seem to last forever?
I must say, coming from a 1Ds MkII, the world of MF shooting seem to draw a whole lot more attention away from shoothing because of handling issues, battery trouble, error messages etc. (Mamiya/Leaf combo.) Hopefully the AFi will prove to be a good match to Canons 1Ds, with regards to handling and intergration. Hopefully the battery capasity/type will improve in the near future.
Yair, perhaps you could also update us somewhat on the 35mm lens? When do you expect it to be released, and will we be able to use filters on it?
Thanks,

Thank you John and Steve for manning the wheel while I was playing sleeping beauty:-)
1. Lossless files can go straight into Lc11, this was always the case since we started using that format
2. As Steve suggested, the battery in the grip provides power to both the camera and back.
3. This is a good idea. Obviously it depends on requests and allocations between the various regions in the world.
As for sending form letter....at least I can say that most of my dealers unfortunately have to see me 1-2 times a week and hear me 1-2 times a day.
