Jerry,

That was a scanning back, and as such, gives FAR superior results than a one
shot back.  I have a 7k scanning back for my Hasselblad.  It produces
AMAZING results.  I'd say some aspects are better than film, and some
aren't.  But, I can't very well take pictures of the kids with it, unless
they hold VERY still ;-)
