Those citations establish the pioneering status of the product, which meets the minimum to keep the article. Which means we're done here. The rest is cleanup. Most of this happened in the early 90s before Google put all the news online, so you have to go to sources like
General OneFile,
Questia and
HighBeam to find coverage of the first medium-format digital camera back, and other products. For example, a 1,400-word article "Studio swear by their digitals" Mitzi Waltz. MacWEEK. 7.7 (Feb. 15, 1993) p38. Or Leeke, Jim. "Photo departments rely on quality, flexibility of the Mac." MacWEEK 12 Apr. 1993: 33+. General OneFile. That one is 1,900 words. "Digital studio cameras." Editor & Publisher 20 Feb. 1993: P7. Describes the Hasselblad DB 4000 553ELX camera combined with the Leaf camera back. Taylor, Wendy. "Lights ... camera ... computer?" PC/Computing Feb. 1994: 198+. 3,000 words. These articles describe the recurring role the Leaf cameras played in the transformation of the high-end, professional studio photography industry, prior to the move of the technology into the consumer mainstream. I haven't even scratched on the the Israeli press here. This is all beyond the scope of AfD. We know notability exists; now it's a matter of dealing with how to present it and what to say, which can be handled on the article's talk page. --

Keep per guidance and links given above. especially note reference 4. Leaf was an obvious pioneer in digital photographic hardware, dating back to 1991.
