There are two versions of the RM3D. The first one was discontinued and the one in the video is really just reaching production. I would guess that the prices you described were for the older unit.

MR seemed to be touching his nose a lot...does that mean he is in on some secret?

i'm with Ron. seems too complex. my opinion is that no focusing aid, including the nifty viewer and sonic doodad, is really going to be able to take advantage of the extra fine focus ring they provide. that means gg and tethering

Woody,

The prices were from a dealer who posted them here last summer, but the camera body price is close to the price posted on the current German dealer's website.

I have more concerns about the tilt mechanism with RM3D. Truly it's good to have built-in tilt movement with the RM3D body, however, unless the tilt can be perfectly zeroed there would be some issues with the focal plane alignment. For some extremely wide angle lenses, even 10um (yes, 1/100 millimeter) misalignment should cause some problem. So I guess we'll have to calibrate it frequently with a ground glass back as long as the tilt is applied.

Any ideas on how the camera will focus at close distances? Is it necessary to add spacers like on Alpa?
