The device is basically a digital camera capturing the projected image of the lens on a ground glass.

Could get the same effect by taking a shot off the back of a large format camera.

My next project ... a Grafnikon :lol:

Yes exactly. Why havent others thought of this before? Instead they used exposed charged sensors that required cleaning and AA filters and pentaprisms and mirror boxes. Is a question of over engineered or complicated due to not seeing the wood for the trees?

I would not wish to detract from the simplicity of the idea, I simply question whether the market still exists for such a device given the limitations imposed upon it by the original film camera. I accept that there may well be a small number of people who want a digital back for a manual focus camera, the number of people who have called for a Digital FM2 suggests that they exist. However, digital SLRs are now cheap and high performing devices, does this device match the image quality available when these film cameras were current?
I am impressed by the out of the box thinking but unconvinced that I actually need one.

Because it fledged doesn't guarantee it will soar with the eagles. :lol:
