Mitchell Feinberg is a photographer who specializes in taking beautiful photographs of very expensive things. Cars, luxury goods, wristwatches, that sort of thing. He shoots on 8x10 film, which is expensive enough that you generally want to get it right the first time. So he shoots test shots on instant 8x10 Polaroid film to make sure the exposure and focus are right. At $15 a pop, 7 or 8 test shots per photo, and dwindling supplies of the Polaroid film itself (though the Impossible Project is looking to remake it), it became evident to Feinberg that he couldn't continue doing things that way.So what did he do? No, he didn't buy a Leaf or Hasselblad. He decided he'd commission the world's biggest color digital back.
