I shoot 4x5, still.  ( Still film.  Still an amateur as well.....)

I realize the Schneiders and Rodenstocks are all for view cameras, but now
the bar is significantly raised, again.  You are comparing the quality of 20
square inches of film plus scanner to a digi-sensor.

Not as easy a comparison as 35mm or 645 systems.... there is a LOT of
information in 20 square inches of film......5 times the data as a 2x2
negative....... and maybe double that for a MF Digi-sensor.....

Just not as easy...... or straightforward..... scanner or not.

However, when we discuss medium format backs with Rodenstock,  
Schneider or Mamiya lenses
we're really discussing hybrid view camera systems.
