Hi Simon,

I won’t be investing in this camera / back combo. I think MF DSLRs have a future as long as they’re made to the same standards as 35mm style cameras.

Obviously the level of detail at 100% crop is pretty amazing when compared with 12mp cameras like our Canon 5d Mk1s. But do social photographers need this level? Most probably not. I could make an argument for the 5d MkII when our Mk1s need replacing next year – simply because the 21mp gives you huge cropping latitude.

But when you are spending 30k on kit like this, it amazes me that these defects exist. I would want anything less than 10 out 10 if spending this much.

So Damien, will you invest? I’m guessing not….

Personally, I cannot believe that level of quality but I am used to shooting 12MP at max.

Thanks for a REAL review of this system, unbiased, and real-world based.
