>>4253536Unless abusing tilt/shift movements beyond what existing SLR T/S lenses can do, it's totally mogged by high resolution FF digital with pixel shift. Even the total exposure time is similar. But the long term operating cost is lower, if you aren't a low volume shooter. Throw a canon 24mm ts on an a7riii/a7riv, turn on 4 shot pixel shift, and you have your 4x5.
If tilt/shift isn't an issue even some micro four thirds pixel shift implementations get close enough - if you only want the detail.
In other words, it is the niche of niches. It is a REAL niche, not an imagined delusional gearfag one that nobody has wanted since the 5ds r came out (like non-technical MF film cameras), so 4x5 cameras (and technical MF film cameras that also work with MFDBs) are still being made brand new, but it's a small one, exclusive to the people that want more dramatic lens/sensor plane movements.
