Just an update - I am working on getting an example in my hands to try out. This may take a couple of months - as the company is apparently about to start shipping a few in the next few weeks.
The camera apparently also is able to incorporate the arca sliding back so that you focus on the ground glass and then move the digi back over if you want to focus using ground glass versus 'guestimate'
as an aside - there are two verions of the camera for different Film sizes - One version is able to take a 4x5 film back.
The Sinar arTec looks like it has been more purpoosefully designed for digital capture...however - even though I have a Sinar 75LV I dont understand why I cant get an H adaptor and use the back from my H3D11-39. etc etc then when you look at teh Sinar offers - you see that if you are existing owner of a Sinar back - you cant buy teh artec at the same price ( less back) as being offered to peopel buying both.
These companies are very weird in the way they treat existing customers..very very weird - almost as if to say ( sometimes) hahahah we gotcha!
