Back 18 years ago when I work in a desktop publishing company, a guy came to us with a CCD sensor designed like a roll of film. It can insert into any film camera and any film camera will turn into a digital camera instantly.
The prototype he shown is very convincing he is looking for funding for further R&D and development. I guess at that time no one buy the concept because digital cameras are stating to come out at lower cost already no one feel the need for film camera conversion.
I hope they did go on with the development... it will be cool to use it with our lovely film M.

"a CCD sensor designed like a roll of film" ... that's exactly what is always in my mind ...
18 years ago, hmmmmm ...
I didn't even know there was such a name called Leica ...
It won't come cheap, each of our cameras require manual installation and testing, regardless the cost of the CCD alone, the work to done by cfu would be as high as a M3, but if the camera could interchange with film and digital sensor, then it is all worth doing. otherwise it would be the same as normal M9 with M3 outlook
Why border if you can buy a second hand M8 or M9 with less money than this experiment? This guy's experiment required a M3 and A7 even second hand is cost more than a M8 or M9. It is like funding someone doing some hobby project but doesn't look like will come into real production.
I read something about the digital film roll project years ago and it's failure is partly because the distance between the expose window and the roll is different in different cameras.
