I agree it is a good idea - more than that - it put me firmly in the sinar camp
Having been locked into mamiya on my pro back and personlly not getting on with mamiya
I felt robbed that my back was stuck on that system and sold it all at a big loss
I persnally wouldnt buy a back that didnt have the plate system

I am not sure why Phase doesn’t make a step in that direction, since they don’t have the platform they are working on, and that may very well be their only ticket in staying at the Top.
I dont think changing plates on set is part of anything but the most controlled and considered workflow

Like it or hate it, it’s there, so you can act upon your will.
I would therefore not go HY6 until there is a seamless integration with a wide system
I would get a sinar back on a H1 or Vmount and think about moving Hy6 in a couple of years when the system is smooth

Sure, you are not alone on this one.
I love Rheiners contraption - but counldt use (or afford) something like that to provide me with wider than 40 mm

Who doesn’t? His system is TOP!!! and custom, very custom made. I literally never heard anybody talking about Gottschalt DS 30 until here on Luminous Landscape.
For me view camera have thier place but that is pretty strictly for static objects - 50% of my work is street and even at 35 hass give a pretty good wide lense (the idiots locked me out of thier 28

My main reason for going with ALPA 12SWA is LF Digital Lenses and how light and small the system it self is. Other reasons include : precisely the fact that you don’t have to be static or shoot static objects , basically Leica with LF Digital Lenses, etc., etc. I know you are mad at Hasselblad and you have a great reason for it, but I must admit I like their H3D 39 and their lenses. Regardless of the back I buy, I will most probably go for H2 or I will figure something else, but for now it’s H Series when it comes to camera & lenses.
I wont be buying a new back for years even though my is only a rubbishy antiquated 22mp - still better than 99.99% of digital cameras on the planet and plenty good for most reproduction purposes

TRUE.
THey shoot themselves in the foot in not listing the Xact on thier site as is is thier in house wide platform that will work with a rollei adapter I would imagine

You are so right, because when I confirmed with ALPA that you can actually use Rollei lenses on all ALPA cameras, of course I went to their web and read about it.
I think sinar need to get thier act together fast in offering integration to a wide system

100% Right, if they don’t move in to the right direction this year 2007, who ever is at the
top deciding will turn [span style=\'font-size:11pt;line-height:100%\']SINAR[/span] in to [span style=\'font-size:11pt;line-height:100%\']DINAR[/span], worthless coin these days.
