thanks, I guess I look for a decent 4x5. I figure the filtration I can get right out of Photoshop. Still a bit better than the price tag on the daylab digital, which I haven't seen the reviews of yet. Any firsthand experience out there?

It's 4X5 film so any 4X5 camera with a polaroid back on it...a press graphic will do if you're just going to shoot off a monitor screen.

But please don't forget to calculate for bellows factor as you'll be shooting close-up.

And god only knows what kind of filtration you'll have to use to get true colors on film from one of those flat screen monitors...be prepared to shoot tests and get color correction filters to adjust the final result until you get what you're aiming for.

best
