<p>Hello --<br>
<br /> I am new to the Photo.net forums, but I have been collecting Medium-Format (I have two Rolleiflex's and a Rolleicord), Large-Format (Speed Graphic), and 35mm SLR's for quite some time and am an amateur photographer (well, at the very least a hobbyist). I am an Engineer (CS/EE), and had an interesting proposition for the community (I know it's been discussed before, but I figured I'd resurrect the topic).</p>
<p>The reason I'm posting is because I had the crazy idea of gaining support from the Rolleiflex-using community for the engineering of a digital back system for the 2.8F/3.8F series of the Rolleiflex.</p>
<p>I have access to basic production equipment (well, the mechanical side -- I am a CS/EE for a DBS hardware manufacturing company, so I don't have the means of doing anything on the electronics side) and am trying to gauge interest in such a feat in order to possibly present a design to a company such as <em>Leaf</em> or <em>Phase One</em>.</p>
<p>Again, I know it's been proposed before, but I figured I's bring it up again and maybe gain the support from Rolleiflex owners as well as other engineers that could possibly assist (I know photography is very popular amongst the engineering community).</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
