The reason I said $30K is that I have tried the Mamiya, and like many people, I don't really like it. The Hasselblad kits now start at $15K, and with a few lenses (at $2000-3000 each) some accessories and tax, you are around $30K. And that is the entry level back. They only go up from there. Of course, one can go on ebay any buy used for cheaper... Hi Bill, thanks for your comments. The reason I said $30K is that I have tried the Mamiya, and like many people, I don’t really like it.

The clients typically won't care though. But I think you have your prices too high. Leaf has some lower prices now: http://www.leaf-photography.com/usa/ If you add a Mamiya and a few lenses you won't be spending too much. You could have a used Aptus 22 and Mamiya for a similar price of a 1Ds3 setup. Personally I don't care that much about the number of pixels, medium format tends to have better color and a nicer feeling from the larger sensor. But MF is slow and troublesome compared to a Canon.

For every one respected contributor there are 9 more who will give their opinions without any first hand knowledge. you just got to filter out that 90% that doesn't apply (I call it nonsense) and enjoy the posts from people like you.

I sent a link to a commercial shooter I work for often, the link was a from calumet for a free 2 day demo of a $45k MF digital camera. Thought he might want to try it... He replied "I don't have time to test that thing out, I am busy making 10grand a day shooting this job on my 1ds3, thanks though!" bravo…
