There is another scanning back option which uses lenses from the Linhof film 612 camera.
Here is one of the emails from the engineer Martin Langfeld which will give some detail as well as his contact details.
I am very interested in his approach but nervous of all the retouching that may be required to artifacts introduced by movement (of leaves, for example) during the tri-linear scanning.
If anyone gets to try one of his backs, please let me know how you found the results.

Subject: AW: Digital backs for 1:2 ratio cameras
Hello Roger,
we supply a special 612 adaptor which allows to mount 612 lenses and viewfinders on a Rencay scanback.
There are two scanbacks, made especially for photographic applications:
Rencay foto8 with a resolution of 8000 x 13000 x RGB pixels and a max. scan time of 26s for a full scan and
Rencay foto4 with a resolution of 4000 x 6500 x RGB pixels and a max. scan time of 13s for a full scan
Both scanbacks have a scan area of 72mm x 118 m. The 612 lens is mounted with a shift of 8mm as on the 612 film camera. The bigger scan area of 72mm can be used as "digital shift".
The scanback delivers an exceptional image quality with high dynamic range.
Prices are 16900 EUR for the foto8 and 9900 EUR for the foto4 plus shipping and tax.
A battery pack is included and allows ca. 5 hours operation. The scanback is connected to a notebook or powerful tablet computer with USB2.
At the moment Windows7 is supported, MAC OS X follows in autumn.
With best regards
Martin Langfeld
