Anyone see this? Wonder if there will be/you could make a digital back adapter for it.

adapting a digital back defeats the purpose of the camera.

You would only buy it because you like to shoot film. Nice camera.
The camera might be light, but the DDS, light meter,film boxes, tripod and changing bag add a tad more to the package.
It would be a great project to set yourself, the one camera and one lens to work with. I do it occasionally with a Rolleiflex, very liberating and uncomplicated.
No lenses to swop, no chimping, no histograms, no batteries, no endless supply of pictures etc.
Putting a digital back on it is missing the point somewhat.
