Yeah. I think the $40K price tag leaves a bit of room for other models. (What is the emoticon for overwhelming sarcasm?) P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/10/2008 8:36 AM Apparently hiding under the bed... On the other hand the formula Megapixels = Megapirce seems to hold here. [EMAIL

It seems on a per photo basis, (even a good size commercial operation), would never amortize one of these over their useful lifetime. For most studios on a cost per shot basis it's would be less expensive using film. (Ok, so that's not even back of the envelope calculations but that's what

High-end commercial shooters can justify 40K for a camera. Some of the best gross that much in a couple days of shooting. And Hassy doesn't expect high volume, so that market alone probably absorbs much of their production. Then there are the ridiculously rich hobbyists who have to have the

Mid level commercial photographers do just fine with Canon and Nikon. And if they get a job that really justifies medium format digital, they can rent equipment. But a mid level shooter who works for $2000 a day or so generally doesn't get work that justifies MF expenditure. Some, of course,
