I want MFD backs to be like film. I want to be able to use this MF digi 'film' on any damn camera / lens system I choose whenver I choose to use it.
I dont want any MF digi 'film' company to tell me what hardware I can or cannot use. In fact I REFUSE to give any company any more of my dollars if they think I am fool enough to fall into their perpetuity user trap.
The only two companies that allow me the choice of using one of their backs on pretty much ANY camera/lens system I choose in pretty much ANY format I choose to use - are Sinar and Hasselblad.
Sure I can change mounts with Leaf and Phase one - but these changes are permanent and not cheap. I like being able to use a little screwdriver and whack a Sinar back on any camera I choose.
I shoot with a lot of different bodies and lens systems - because I LIKE to. I want a studio 6x9 made for digi - and I want a landscape architecture system with rise and tilt and shift - that WORKS.
Buying the best available out there is not much more cost to me as a BLOODY UPGRADE from 40 megapixels to 50 - NO THANKS mr megapixel BS - the game is OVER.
I KNOW I will make much more interesting and varied PHOTOGRAPHS that will be PRINTED when I can use the right camera/lens combination as required.
There -now tell me why I am stoopid with my thinking - I m ALL EARS.
