Gilles, I visited your website gallery. The Sinar m is made for fine art repro work like yours. I know it seems a little expensive at first, but if you already own Hasselblad V lenses or a P3 system, you are way ahead already. And, because of its modular design, you can only buy what you need, and add items incrementally as you need them.
In fact, if you really need to save some money, you do not even have to buy the AF mirror module if you shoot exclusively in your studio. Sinar makes a simple "Lens Module", which is basically an extension tube to fit your V lens to the M camera. This lens module is much less expensive (by like 10x) and is meant for studio use where you will be doing your composition and focusing tethered to your computer. This eliminates the expense of a viewfinder as well.
