40MP at 16 bits per channel would be nearly 250Mb. I think my 6x7 scans were only slightly larger and 3Gb was plenty to edit those. Any half-decent modern computer should be fine. > Eat or buy ink and paper for all of the 30 x 40 posters you'll be making?

Weightlifting cameras would be a very satisfactory method :) If I win the lottery I'll buy one... I'd love to photograph some nice scenic adventure sport and something like this would be fantastic. I really should drag the 6x7 out sometime, US$10k would buy a lot of film.
