I can only report that I've read of others finding it very difficult to
calibrate the sensors on the backs to the exact positioning of the ground
glass ? thus the ultra expense of the various pieces of kit to arrive at the
necessary precision.
My only experience with medium format backs has been with occasional rentals
for my 500CM;
and simply live with lust re: ownership of a kit for the Ultima.
