And the Phaseone backs are $25000-$35000. So I think IF Fuji does make such camera, it will sell even at $8000. As for lens, that's the least of the problems. If there is one thing Fuji knows how to do REALLY well, it would be the lens :-) On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 9:10 PM, Adam Bridge <abridge at mac.com> wrote: > There are similar rumors about a large Sony sensor for a mirror less > medium format camera. > > What is the market for medium format?
