Browsing the catalogue of monochrom.com, a great photo retail store in Berlin,
www.monochrom.com,
I found the following camera:
The
Pentacon 6000 S.
PENTACON Scanner: Scan 6000
This is a
100 Megapixel camera for only 50% more than a Pentax 645D costs (€14,875.- incl. 19% VAT, $17,100.- w/o tax).
(BTW, a cheaper 80 MP variant with Nikon mount sells for what 645D is called for).
It has a 40×40mm image area and Schneider-Kreuznach M39 mount (Schneider PC Super-Angulon etc.).
The only caveat is 40s image capture time. Much in line with the expectations of the view camera folks, it seems. So, this should be their camera.
Interestingly, this digital 100 MP camera was not noticed by a wider web audience
Especially, it should make for a great Nikon lens test device and dpreview and alike should have one
