>From the review:

suppose 10 rolls of 220 film a day costing about 15$ each everything
included = 150$
suppose 15 days of work per month = 15 x 150 = 2,250$
so 16,990/2,250= 7,5 months
so 29990/2250= 13,5 months

So these backs pay themselves back in a relatively short period of time, if
you're a professional photographer.

No more lab, no more time losses, immediate results on the spot, and a
quality equal to or higher than analog.

I'm afraid the end of the analog era is nearing.
