I've been using a 500C and CM for a while and am thinking of going digital. Other than dropping $14K on a 50 mp digital back what other options are there?

Digital back for 500CM
A 50MP (CFV-50) digital back for a 500/200 Series Camera does not make much sense , when your biggest prints are maximum 30x40cm or A3 in size . Your printer can not print all image information and what you see on your screen .
There are good CFV-39 on the used market for around 6k-7k€ .

As Jotloob has both the cfv-39 and cfv-50, as well as a fine collection of HB and ALPA cameras, I would hazard a guess that he is commenting from experience.
From my own, view, I rarely print larger than 8x10" to A3 - for the simple reason that I do not have adequate space.
Doesn't mean that I wouldn't like a CFV-50!
