Still, a decent film scanner (not a drum scanner but a good, high-quality film scanner) will set you back under $2500 and that's a lot cheaper than getting a digital back for the 645.

I toy with that idea myself: get a good medium-format camera with a very good lens and a good scanner and see whether that combination is worth the time and effort over "affordable" DSLRs. That would be simply for the "fun" photography -- you know, the stuff that doesn't make me any $$$$ .

Remembering the RB67 just brings back good memories. It was my only camera when I had a studio back in the 70's, I was so poor I could only afford one camera. I used it for sports, motocross, weddings, and of course, my studio work.

Of course, I love my Nikon D300, my Sig-Monster 300-800 lens and my other lenses, but for studio work, nothing beats a good medium format. But, for pets, maybe it will not be fast enough to move around with; still brings back good memories.
