Comes with a person who operates the software and sits behind a large monitor. Buying such gear would be the worst economic decision a person even photo studio could ever make; because its well into the tens of thousands of dollars and its lifetime will be measured in days and weeks not months and years. Much shorter than a DSLR camera with a 24x36mm or smaller sensor. Both shorter and more expensive by at least one decimal point from all I can make out. I'd say someone who felt they needed medium format and large format film in their previous life would be looking at medium format and large format digital in their present life. Watching and waiting for some breakthrough low cost options. By rogue digital back companies. In Norway; or Iceland. Or the southern North Pole. Perhaps Santa's Helpers are working on it. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > > Particularly when we have a number of the crew who can't afford to buy an > M8! > > ted > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
