Strange beast. I wonder what is the target market? Presumably there is one?
You can buy three dozen Deardorff V8s and three dozen 14" Gold Dot Dagors for $106k. You might even have enough left over for a box of Tri-X. You'll get a lot more than 12mp, tooYes, someone with $106,000 who also happens to be a photographer.
Well, some of us are more philanthropic than others. I see you would like to help out some friends, acquaintances and possibly less-than-acquaintances-who-you-know-only-by-username-on-photrio with a Deardorff and Gold Dot Dagor. I'm ok with that - I suppose I can buy my own film.You can buy three dozen Deardorff V8s and three dozen 14" Gold Dot Dagors for $106k. You might even have enough left over for a box of Tri-X.

Uh?6mp is almost double IQ what film neg is, so it would be fine to replace a film back.
A 35 mm frame is roughly equal to 24mp.Can't afford one. If lotto cooperates...sure. Now that big sensor tech is growing, maybe they make a FF 6 x 6 sensor for the old film Hassy. I'd love to slap a 6mp FF back on my SWC...as long as it is affordable. Maybe $1200 or so for the back. Good project for India or China. Reliable and great IQ is a must. 6mp is almost double IQ what film neg is, so it would be fine to replace a film back.
Let's say, you use it to capture 1000 images. That comes to a cost of over $100 for each image.
Love that shallow DOF, wonder what's involved in taking it out of the studio and into the field?

for a hobbyist it might be a little expensive, but for someone using the camera for business to make $$, its a write off and they can charge a pretty good $$ for huge digital imagesLet's say, you use it to capture 1000 images. That comes to a cost of over $100 for each image.
