I don't get the point of this camera, aside from being a curiosity of sorts. Film has much better dynamic range and resolution than any current digital sensor. A medium format camera with decent glass and a high quality film scanner could be had on ebay for a tenth of the cost of this kit. I imagine you could pay for quite a bit of film and processing with that extra scratch.
The only reason I can see for needing a camera like this is when speed is essential and you don't have half an hour to process your film. But I have a hard time conceiving such a situation.
