why not use your standard imaging camera with medium format camera lenses like the pentax 6x7?

they work great for me and the lenses are widely available on the used market. you can use the largest or smallest sensors and have plenty of back focus to use a camera + filter wheel + inline focuser such as the PDF

here are some recent examples

One shot color is OK but it always gives poorer results than color sequential unless you downsample after processing. I did it for a year and concluded that the monochrome always gave better results

I have plenty of ONE shot Color images from 2009 on my website under the "latest images" tab that has everything in reverse chronology

best regards
