hello, luminous landscape! i am advanced amateur and have nikon d700 + olympus e-p1. In near future i want to switch to "low-cost" medium format camera MAMIYA dm22 for larger prints. can anyone tell me is it better then top-cameras from nikon and canon, like d3x and 1ds mark III? What would be the best choice for tripod-landscape photo? i`ve heard about long expouse problems on MAMIYA...is it true?

There is a currently active thread "20 to 30 MP backs or DSLR" which is relevent, but not specific to the Mamiya.

If the near future has some 4 months perspective you might find the Pentax 645D pretty interesting. It should be available quite earlier in Japan, sometime next month.

I have a review of the DM 28 and the Mamiya camera on my blog. Here's the link (http://davidsaffir.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/camera-test-mamiya-645afd-iii-camera-and-the-leaf-aptus-dl-28-digital-back/).

Another option that is well priced is the wonderful eSprit back from Sinar. DNG's straight out of the back, a great screen and nice scroll wheel interface, and on special at the moment! Just add a camera body that is compatible, currently a Hassy H or Mamiya 645, among others. 31mpx 33 x 44 chip btw.

guite good review, but i`d like to find direct comparison of top 35mm cameras vs low-budget medium format ones..i`ve search hard, but it seems that nobody interested in this topic at all...and this is quite strange..

First reaction on visiting that link - wow, competitive price for a back based on the 31 MP Kodak KAF31600CE !
But then I realized that it didn't include the pricey camera adapter plate...or VAT. Both of which will take the price north of €10k, sadly.

My local dealer is selling the eSprit back with an adapter thrown in, so maybe they all are. I'd check before you jump to any conclusions.
