The only trouble is the price - Leaf digital back for a Hasselblad is about $20K, and it is not even that great either- about 16 or 20 Mpixels if memory serves. I would be asking for a full-frame chip (56x56mm) and 200+Mpixels in that format. At 100 line pairs per mm a pixel is 5 microns; when photographing in monochromatic light, the same lens could give 300 line pairs per mm - i.e. 1.7 microns per pixel in the center of the frame, double that size at the edge. Say, at 3.3 microns a pixel 290 Megapixels per chip.
