that's a very different situation, since mf cameras were designed to
have interchangeable backs.

And I've always thought these large-format scanning backs were pretty
cool. http://www.betterlight.com/

for still life, sure. not so useful for moving subjects.


OMG! I can't believe that we pretty much agree. ;-p

The scanning backs are also good for some landscape photography, where
wind is not a factor.
IIRC A few months before the Nikon D1 came out, some now defunct company
called Kodak, was making a digital back for the Nikon F3. I was told the
cost would be between 8 @ 15 k depending on the ISO sensitivity I
wanted. Oh yes, it would have almost 1 million pixels.
