nplus, I didn't even check prices on the view camera sites I checked last night...knowing better than to even think about it. The digital back did make me curious as to the quality offered there. The Polaroid preview is one thing, whether landscape or "a classic black telephone classroom object" with slow speed and controlled lighting...but the digital back, is this able to do the stuff? Is the "system" including lens and swings and bellows the secret more than film? Can digital render a nice replication of the film capture? I don't really know what I am speaking of but am still fascinated. Please give your impressions. BTW, what is an expected price for a digital back? Thanks for this info. So refreshing, indeed! Refreshing, indeed! Tom.
