The 35mm market is interesting right now with Sony and Canon targeting many of the landscape folks who would otherwise go medium format if it weren't so pricy. I don't know much at all about medium/large format, but I've seen some of the older, used large format scanning backs selling for not too much more than $3K (plus the price of camera and lenses of course). My question is this: Suppose that someone is looking for the best possible image quality for landscape and that he or she is willing to lug a computer everywhere, wait a really long time to make each photo, and dispense with niceties like weather resistance and autofocus. Will those older, used scanning backs soundly beat the latest high-res 35mm cameras in that application? I'm just curious because it seems that a lot of folks have budgets in the 7-10K range for landscape and never consider anything other than 35mm digital.
