I think I just got chub. Really unpractical though. I was looking at a Leaf Aptus dgital back for a Hasselblad, Mamiya or whatever super cam you might have. That's $30,000, but actually practical, as it's the same size as a roll film back.

What the hell am I talking about though? That back is worth more than my life. I'm going to go drink and sob in my El Camino now...

That is awesome. Quite a bit of debate over it as to
its actual capabilities. The sad part is with the rate technology
is advancing. Ten years from now, you'll be able to buy a
similarly capable camera at Wal-Mart and the pro stuff will
be off the charts.
