or www.alpa.ch with newest leaf-back. doubtful if it surpasses 4x5/film(vaccum-back)or even 6x9/vaccum-back. i would rather invest in a good scanner and time to get it rigth. the problems taking control and never get best possible results are endless, even with professional digital backs-if you need really big prints. i have seen impressive prints, but blowing them up really big will show the difference. contrast control is another issue. if one can shoot quick and make money, why not? i just received a confirmation that the widest so called wideangle-digilens-24mm is not so sharp in the corners. so one has to shoot with a longer lens and doing mosaics.one problem after the other.
i guess i can do better work by using p67 plus 67 vacum-back(both very cheap) newest 45mm and doing mosaics where possible and needed.
