I caught a number of the things you guys mention and give me thoughts on the gear and also share some of my less-then-pleased thoughts on the show as a whole. Let me know what you think
Technically the new Sinar backs only work on the original Hy6's, however these can still be bought new from my site for about $1000 less than the Mod2 version. That means a person who wanted to start out now with a Sinar back could buy the first version of the camera and a new Sinar back and be good to go.Sinar digital back, say eXact, works on Hy6 Mod2?

For people who already have a Sinar Hy6 body, then from what I understand, they can upgrade their original camera body to Mod2 specs and their Hy6 will still operate with both older and newer Sinar backs and have all the goodness of the Mod2's.
Xin,Hy6 body with SINAR brand is not allowed to be upgraded to Mod 2.
ALL Mod 2 Hy6 and probably thereafter works only with Leaf digital back.

Hey Ken, could you please post a close-up view of the M-Line looking thing in the first pic (center, in front of Rod) ? I wonder what's sitting at the rear, looks like a DSLR adapter or something.Here is Rod Klukas of Arca Swiss. Very helpful, great person. He had all of the key products on hand including the new E Module.
Sure, here you go.Hey Ken, could you please post a close-up view of the M-Line looking thing in the first pic (center, in front of Rod) ? I wonder what's sitting at the rear, looks like a DSLR adapter or something.
Thanks!
