Has anyone had experience with the digital backs available for the BR67 Pro
S? I'm wondering what kind of enlargements they produce? Are they
stunning?

I've heard wonderful reviews of the Kodak digital
back, called DCS Pro.

IIRC, it measures about 40 mm on a side and
has 16 million pixels. Street price around $12K.

Way out of my range, but I can dream.

Imacon, Leaf, and Better Light also make
digital backs for MF. If your subjects don't
move, you can get phenomenally large
captures (100 Mpixels and up) from scanning
backs.

A fellow named Stephen Johnson has been
doing beatiful work with one of these -- in the
field. See www.sjphoto.com.

I use a Mamiya RB67s with print film and a Nikon 8000 scanner and get
fantastic results.
A lot cheaper than a digital back as I only get the film developed and not
printed.
