Doug,
Very simply, from the B&H website! An R9 kit with cheap 35-70mm
lens is $ 4300. A DMR is $6000. Together they add up to 10 kilobucks
plus. Don't they? Then ya gotta add add shipping or sales tax. So show
me where one could buy a new camera, lens and digi-back for under
10 kilobux.
I hope you realize that ya gotta have a lens, camera and a digital back.
You may be able to find a better deal because you are a "name" photographer,
but I am not.
