Since your post a few months ago Megavision has updated their website, and they are actively selling a line of monochrome backs: http://www.mega-vision.com/e6.htmlAny thoughts on this from the Phase One users here?

A few months ago I had asked about the Megavision monochrome back. This looks like a fine update to that concept.
One question.....is it likely to satisfy the folks who feel that black and white from digital sensors doesn't fit the bill and still prefer the look of B&W film?
Now if they could just get the price down to about $10k or so.

Samples, varied and real-life, are coming.I simply find the texture & gradation of film better than digital BW [...] Plus, I'd love to see some more samples.
I looked at most of the images shot and it is a very exciting back. Certainly has the advantage over a bayer layer back for B&W. Plus you have options on the look you are after.I am one of those who still shoots (a lot) of BW film on every job & for personal use. I simply find the texture & gradation of film better than digital BW, and I have been waiting for a long time for a BW digital camera - I hoped Leica would do something of that sort, and when my Phase rep here told me about it I though it was cool but probably would cost too much for me to make it a viable alternative to keep using film - which apparently is the case, though I appreciate and understand the special scientific applications it might have and the appeal it might have in such fields at any price. Plus, I'd love to see some more samples, and how the apparent technical problems with focus etc have been solved. however, it is very good IMHO that BW sensors start to be around, and I commend Phase for that!
Thanks Doug, looking forward to seeing themSamples, varied and real-life, are coming.

Indeed, this is why I am very much looking fwd to see what it can do. I was expecting something like that from Leica or Nikon actually, but I guess Phase will have to do for now except... 41K to get one?? Is that what it will really cost? :wtf:I looked at most of the images shot and it is a very exciting back. Certainly has the advantage over a bayer layer back for B&W.

Hi Brian,Since your post a few months ago Megavision has updated their website, and they are actively selling a line of monochrome backs: http://www.mega-vision.com/e6.html
Megavision is also now marketing an interesting multispectral system for UV-VIS-IR analysis of ancient documents and artwork:http://www.mega-vision.com/cultural_heritage.html
I commend Phase for doing this. MF digital is out of my reach, but I have long wanted a dedicated B&W digital camera. If only one of the 35mm DSLR makers would embrace this concept! I'd love to see a B&W Sony A900.
