You left out one of the important numbers. It's the one that starts with "$" and ends with "16,000 plus tax".

I see the catch is that you would not only have to give your "first born" but also your "Second Born" and "Third Born."

Do you have a Hasselblad?

I knew you could buy a pretty decent new car for the price of the thing. It does warm my heart to see "what planned obsolescence?" though.

What's interesting about these MF backs (and Mamiya makes one that's a lot more affordable) is that they are clearly studio-oriented, with relatively low ISOs considering the size of the sensors.
