Just noticed that Sinar seems to be offering a special deal until the end of the month - a Sinar e75LV for €7500. Add an adapter of your choice and you're looking at low to mid 8K for a 33MP back with live view, good ISO 800 performance (remember Thierry's thread?) plus 3 year warranty. Sounds like a heck of a deal!

definitley a very good deal. i think that sinar is updating the emotion 75LV to an espirit back and wants to get rid of the old ones.

I don't think so.

It doesn't seem like Sinar wants to get rid of anything in the US. We haven't received any notice of a promotion, and haven't been able to get product in some time.

Oh, I didn't notice that before. Even better!

Are you tempted, Graham?

A bit. More by the high ISO performance than the extra pixels, but if I am honest with myself I need other things more...

A German photo magazine advertised it as a German only deal, then the Russian Sinar dealer said that the offer was extended to Russia. Perhaps the USA is next?

I would be wary of viewing this as "a heck of a deal." This has the feel of a fire sale in anticipation of Sinar pulling the plug completely on its digital back business. The sale runs out on June 30, the day before the insolvency proceeding for F&H in which the affected players will presumably have to put their cards on the table with the Hy6 and put up or shut up.

IMO the nice thing about the 75LV is that it offers the high ISO performance of a P30+ but without the crop factor and without micro lenses.
Plus you can use it on many cameras via adapter.

Who knows what might happen to the various MF players, but as long as there is a Sinar, they will be legally obliged to honour the warranty for 3 years, and the back will still produce high quality images for years, just like any other back costing much more. Given the price and features, I would still call this a deal. Heck, you could buy two for the same price as the equivalent Phase back. The only real threat is if Sinar closes its doors altogether.

Too bad the sale will end before I sell a house. I have friends visiting in Germany right now
Lord, you just saved me 7,500 Euros!
Seriously, hell of a good deal. I would take my chances.
