not complete. There are backs for 4x5.
Usualy they are scanning backs and tethered to
a computer. But that is changing. A 4xx5
back that slides in like a regular film
holder was anounced at Photokina last year.
It produces a 485mb file. Price $27K. Which
sounds like a lot, but only a couple years
back a 4x5 digital back costs aroung $150K.
Of course, for prices like these one could
build a building in the back yard with a
studio and darkroom in it.
