For about the same money one could have a Gigapan, which is subject to
the same limitations I mention above. The main difference is that with
the Gigapan you are stitching a series of images taken with a DSLR and
lens, where with the new Fotodiox you are using the NEX as a back to
whatever medium format lens you choose (or 4x5 camera you choose).
It is an interesting idea. I look forward to seeing how well it works
in actual practice. For someone who doesn't already own a NEX (or
medium format lenses) it is a lot of stuff to purchase and being able
to take a single medium format digital exposure still has many
advantages over it.
Another advantage to Gigapan ... I can't get fotodioxpro.com to come up.
When the link was first posted, all I got was a page full of MySQL errors.
This morning, Firefox can't find the server.
Maybe later. I'm saving money for something else anyway.
