you've wagered correctly! Like i said earlier I shoot daily just as you've described above (teathered and closed back). Focusing 'live'
on a monitor. Sinar's "p3" body is "smaller view camera body" that works nicely with todays LF backs (sinar in my case). Of course the actuall size of the sensor isn't 4in x 5in but produces images of those dimensions. Resolution is depends on 1shot,4shot or 16shot modes. Here's the p3:



We also have some older Sinar p2's witch also have digital backs mounted on the back -- these backs are the same back that some folks use on their hassy's for extra resolving power. http://www.sinar.ch/sinar/digital/digi_e/kam1.html for more info...
That's very cool. I looked at the P3 when it was emerging but didn't grasp that the body was compact. Without a doubt, Sinar is a true system camera... if not THE true system camera. Alas, I still shoot an F2... and I love it. Don't use it as much as I used to though.

Thanks,
Chip
