Sounds fabulous, but I'm still waiting for a full frame sensor for our RZ67 (56mm x 72mm) so the wides remain wides. I do a lot of landscape work and already being limited to ~24mm (35mm equiv) really hurts after being able to shoot to 16mm with the Canon 5D. Of course, I'm not holding my breath...

there are several options to go wider then 24mm (35mm equ.) in MF...cambo, alpa,...virtually all cameras that take the 24mm digitar...of course not handheld...although you could with the alpa...

pss,

I know there is a Mamiya 37mm fisheye which would give me approx 18mm (35mm equiv) which I haven't been able to test here in Brisbane, Australia. I'd prefer a rectilinear wide, but apart from changing systems, do you know of any lenses I can achieve this with the RZ 67? I'd be happy to work with adapters if required.  

Thanks,

Well, to answer my earlier post, I CAN start holding my breath. Apparently the scanning cassette in the new Seitz 6x17 digital  (http://www.roundshot.ch/xml_1/internet/de/application/d438/d925/f934.cfm)will eventually be able to be used in conventional MF cameras. How does 7500x9400 pixels (~70MP) full frame in the RZ sound?
