if you wanted to use a top quality film camera for digital, then why wouldn't you just use a good quality digital back and the lens off that camera?
it would be low quality and expensive because the one development of that product was. mrsmyth detailed somewhere on here why it would always be low quality (something to do with the positioning of the sensor), and honestly, something produced in small numbers and with high manufacturing costs will be expensive. also, how would it fit into every camera?
honestly, i use almost exclusively film, but if i wanted to shoot digital i would buy a digital camera, even if there was a film back for 35mm format cameras on the market.
