WE WANT Digital Back for the Nikon F5

It doesn't come as a surprise that F5 will be used in any serious photography but the digital bit must have been a misprint. If you view the photos shown in this link:

You will easily note that scanned slow films (ISO 100-200) had been used. However, the possibility of an F5 with a digiback can't be ruled out if someone specifically asks for a tailored made.
 
Actually never mind - if I think back the Kodak DSC 760 is based off of a Nikon F5 body and through other articles from the Nasa web page I found the following, "Kodak 760 DSC (digital still camera)" So yes technically it is a digital F5, but it was not made by Nikon.

and it uses PCMCIA memory cards not CF cards

So that solves the mystery. 6 megapixels.. Way ahead of it's time...........
