A 'full format' 40,5x55mm DALSA sensor is extremely interesting to me. I am going to try it out on my Hasselblad V camera system, ASAP. Needless to say, this extreme resolution puts great demands on lenses, lens shades (referrably bellows matte boxes), and also on the photographic situation, flash vs. available light (really sturdy tripods and heads, mirror-up capability), movement, etc, etc.
But if you use say anyone of these excellent Carl Zeiss T* multi-coated lenses: the SWC/M Biogon 4,5/38mm superwide angle, the 3,5/100mm Planar, the 4/120 Makro-Planar or the superb 4/180 Sonnar (at near their best apertures, which in some cases are close to full!), I wouldn´t be surprised if you would get absolutely staggering results, as far as contrast and resolution are concerned. So much for German lens technology and know-how, which has been among the créme-de-la-créme for a century.
PhaseOne architecture also allows you to use their backs on avariety of systems, including the smaller LF cameras, for example Linhof, Cambo or Arca-Swiss 6x9, for corrective table-top or architechture photography. Hasselblad makes a big deal out of the distorsion correction of their 39Mpxl 28mm wide angle, however, this possibility has been available in software Photoshop CS (and others) for years. With the new super-resolution backs, I think we will see an increasing number of software that corrects the inevitable optical errors of certain lenses, especially big retrofucus wideangle lenses. These are still much, much better, though, than for example the SLR zooms from Nikon or Canon, where it is almost impossible to get a straight horizon, no matter what you pay for the lens. Lens correction in a dedicated sopftware becomes a must, for certain tyes of images.
I consider this a great stride forward. It will be fun to try it on a Hasselblad SWC/M camera, which will get you an completely undistorted image, equivalent of a 24mm lens in 35mm.
