I am seriously thinking of taking the plunge and buying a 39Mp back.
I have never owned Hasselblad cameras, so I have no bias towards their products. I have always used Mamiya RBs, but if I have to sell them, I will.
Issues of cost aside, why might I consider opting for the PhaseOne back, when the Hasselblad back will give me the same straight 39Mp capture, in addition to Hasselblad/Imacon's patented multishot capture?
Most of my work is fine art documentation for catalogue. Currently, 4x5 tranny is my staple. I have also looked at the BetterLight backs and, while they are much cheaper, they do seem a tad unwieldly and slow.
Research seems to indicate that high end medium format backs are now replacing 4x5 in the museum/gallery world. That's good enough for me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
D.
