[HUG] Re: For those wishing to become digits

Must be pros... Elsewhere one detailed how he charges a daily  'capture fee' . This isn't because the photons wear down the sensor, but to pay off the big ticket H series gear (100 days work and it is paid off or thereabouts). Clients seem to pay it because, I guess, it is less than film and processing would have cost them.

I do contract work with tools, but don't put on a daily 'cutting fee' or something over my fee, although I am tempted to start!

The amateur market that also underpinned the V series, Leica M series etc must be much less now (perhaps a couple of oil sheiks or two for the highest end Leaf backs). The costs are just too much, although the CFV is doing it for some.

   Someone must be buying these things. There was an article in PDN magazine a while back that focused on these types of digital backs and what kind of rates and clients a photographer must have to get any type of ROI on these suckers..

   Buyers appear to be commercial photogs who shoot catalogs for JCrew etc and Hollywood studios for promos of their films.
