Its enough to make me try to get a job in the post office. A CMOS back makes your Hassy not just a studio and tripod camera but a digital version of the Hassy film camera like a 35mm DSLR Is to an SLR. In other words you can use it on the street or indoors or at dusk hand held. A medium format camera whose iso tops off at 200 would be a lot more constricting and limiting than you'd think. There's also a limit on longer exposures I think. Personally I'm ok with tripod use but it would be nice to do with my Hassys what I used to do with them and and what I do now with 35mm format DSLR's. Almost. I used a lot of 220 iso 800 film in my Hassy's. Color neg.
