I guess most people will have seen MR's review of this combo at
http://luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/hartblei-cam.shtml
and maybe have looked at the Hartblei website at
http://www.hartblei.de/en/hartbleicam1.htm
Now by my reckoning the Hatblei cam plus the Canon 24T/S will come in at about £7,186 including sales taxes, whereas a Sinar with 28 HR would be about £14,000 or about £1,200 less with the 35 HR. The Hartblei can be supplied to run with a Phase back battery, will allow the mounting of countless lenses (many of which won't have the image circle or resolution to keep up with a P65+ of course) and allows simultaneous T and S with the Canon, which apparently has a huge image circle, whereas it is my understanding that the sinar allows only T or S at any one time.
The trouble with the LL review is that it was done using a P45+ which is obviously a slightly smaller sensor, and MR doesn't explicitly state what the image circle of the Canon is.
SO does anyone have a view? It looks mighty tempting on a price basis, interesting to be able to use the 24TS on my 5DII as well, and to be able to use a 400MM tele on a P65+.
Hmmm...
