I must say, if I could come up with a digital back for my 6008i for under
the price of a total heart-lung transplant operation, I'd snag that sucker.
Sadly, I am shooting so much digital for my "clients" lately that film has
sorta become quaint.  The digital back would certainly mean that I go back
to MF shots (up from 35mm-ish Nikon DSLR stuff).

On a technological note - what sort of memory would you use for a MF digi
back?  A 1Gb CompactFlash card holds 150 of my 6Mb "raw" images.  I presume
that you'd only get about 20-30 MF images?  Would you have a "bank" of CF
cards?  A small built-in laptop hard drive?  I certainly would hate to be
tethered to a laptop, the way the old 4x5 digital backs were set up...

j, just pondering out loud.
