Coincidentially, just a few days ago, in his last seminar in Atlanta at PEI, living leyend Jay Maisel, one of the strongest detractors of digital and now fully, totally ,massively converted into 35 DSLR systems, said in his public speech � f...k image quality if it means that I get the shot ". I have never seen a fine picture of a car shot with less than a Sinar in 4z5 ,5x7 or 8x10 and great lenses. I would expect a car photographer to go for the top of the best in digital backs to make the switch, and the reasoning may apply just as well for Landscape photograhers, and even some still life shooters, but not for the rest of us, common mortals. Having the money, I would do exactly the same as I did with film: my 35 DSLR's or editorial, some commercial and some stock photography, and a MF digital back for SOME assignments. Not having ( at this moment) the money to go shopping and pick everything I want, I easily stick with the 35mmDSLR. WHen some stubborn guy asks MF, then I shoot MF in film, and just deliver the slides. I have already proven in a dramatic way that files I shot on my D60 looked MUCH better than scans from MF slides of the same shot. I can submit samples to anyone interested. At this moment I am putting my money in Canon lenses.
