Doesn't that make TWO on order? And why am I not surprised...I have one on order... at two places..
I think I've heard you say that before LOLOLOLOL! Seriously, call me, Mike and Guy before you cancel that second oneWEll i am going to cancel one when one is avaliable
I hear you on all fronts. Tilt and Shift capability is a very welcome feature of the Canon system and using a DB with a view camera is an inelegant solution. The Alpa with Shift however looks like a pretty elegant solution and might be worth investigating as an alternative for your Aptus 65 as I doubt the 1DsIII will equal its output...IN fact, my plan is to see how much difference things are between the 1DsmkIII and my leaf aptus 65 digital back/hassy. I just cannot keep up with the upgrades in MF. Moreover, the absence of Tilt shift options for me is a real issue and I am not in position to keep a view camera in addition.

Mark,
This has to be one of the few places on the internet where a guy who says money is tight orders an expensive piece of gear and everyone can relate Personally, I don't think I would be happy going back to Canon after shooting with the Leica DMR, M8 and my Aptus back. There is no question they make a fine product and on the long end their lenses are unbeatable but I've been shooting mostly wide these days and it's slim pickings in the Canon lineup on that score. Have you tried an M8 or is the rangefinder format just not your cup of tea?
Hi Mark:
Be sure to keep us posted on your progress --- would love to see some raw files too.
Cheers,
