Alright bitches, here's a hell of a rumor for you.From Nikon1) medium format new MX camera with a squared 48mm sensor and three cuts for pictures: square, portrait, landscape.2) 48 MP (I guess it's a mistyping since other leaks of the manual reported about 6400x6400 pixels which is exactly 40 MP)3) less expensive than Hasselblad4) with a size/pixel ratio unchanged (that is large photosites as on D3 maybe?)5) will be launched at next WPPI, in 2009 but it's probably we'll know almost everything for that date. Leaks are expected at Photokina.AF-S MX Nikkor 24 f4.0GAF-S MX Nikkor 45 f2.8GAF-S MX NIkkor 85 f2.8GAF-S MX Nikkor 135 f2.0G EDAF-S MX Nikkor 200 F2.8G EDAF-S MX Nikkor 65-180 f2.8G ED IF

nikon doesn't have enough money to put this togetherthey just closed one plant lol
LOL, i see the time-bandit fetishist didn't like people asking too many hard questions. suck it down, bitch.
>>256083Nikon used to make stuff for all formats, probably still do for industrial and scientific applications.
>>256087Lenses yes, cameras no.This rumor seems unlikely.
Not likely at all. But holy fuck it would be cool if it were true. I want me some digital medium format.
well they thought Nikon was never gonna go FX...This would be plain awesome if it were true.What i don't get are the lens choices, which kinda confirms it as bullshit since they're all 35mm eqiuv focal ranges
>>256419A 45/2.8 would be pretty epic for any medium format system, though not unthinkable. A 135/2.0 though...
>>256423I'm disappointed about a 85mm being the normal, 55mm equivalent on 48x48mm. Too long, IMO. Useable, sure, but not the great 43mm equivalent an 80 is on 56x56.
