Wrong kind of MF. That camera's medium format, rather than manual focus Wink

By the way, the mounts it supports are:
Mamiya 645
Hasselblad V-series
Pentacon 6

Well, it would take a while until a MF camera will be cheap (cheaper) but would be enough to see some cheap digital backs, let's say, to attach it to a cheap Kiev 88 camera (if possible), first (or to an ARAX http://araxfoto.com/ ).

You know, those MF (Medium Format) used digital backs ARE getting cheap. $500-1200 is a lot less than $30,000. One of these days they will fall within my beer-money range and I can have one for the Speed Graphic.

I didn't think digital back can be this cheap.

Nice looking cam. On brief inspection, it looks as if they might have based it on the Mamiya 645AF and made it more integrated looking.

According to Ken Rockwell, if I walk everywhere and don't eat I could buy one within a couple of years. Hmmm... there might be a flaw in that plan.

On the subject of used digibacks, they are nearly getting to the within reach stage for an almost decent megapixel count. For the next couple of years it'll still be more worthwhile shooting MF film and scanning it though.
