For those interested in discussions of the state-of-the-art digital hardware and optics (without concern for the price-point), you may wish to subscribe to the ProRental list. The folks on that list qualify as users of the high-end stuff for professional work. a recent post: "As any high end digital back user will know,the quality of the image off of a professional back far exceeds that of film. Far better dynamic range, better colour fidelity and better sharpness, especially when using dedicated digital lenses. Also bear in mind that film is effectively going through two lens systems,that of the camera and that of the scanner."
