Ok, so this is the story I was told by one Russian guy I've met at some party when I mentioned I collected cameras. Back in Russia when digital cameras were not readily available these guys were doing the following the with FKD. Note that is was only used for landscape or inanimate photography:
From what I understood from a conversation fueled by a dozen or so shots of infamous Russian grain alcoholic beverage, they took apart a fladbed scanner, taken the glass off it and mounted the scanner on the back of the FKD and would scan the matte glass directly thus resulting in 20 megapixel images. Now if we have any experts here, is that even possible??!!
