The day will come, probably sooner rather than later, when all of this
comes to a grinding halt, but for today it is still a relatively rapid,
compact and ultra high-quality means of acquisition, with multiple
workflow options after processing.


It's going to be a long time before a cost effective large format digital
sensor is produced that matches the quality and resolution of aero film.
Even so, it's such a limited market, the cost will still be high. Just
look at the price of digital backs for medium format today. And they are
only 36 x 48mm in size.
