Im a bit skeptical about it myself. Almost any shot taken in LF is diffraction limited, unless you can shoot at F8 or F11. Not many shots will lend themselves to that large of an aperture.

There is one situation where the Hi End Back would be clearly and undeniably superior and that is when you have the camera pointed straight down as in copy stand or macro situations. In this situation gravity often causes the film to sag downward out of the plane of focus. That's why professional copy cameras have vacuum backs. As for other situations I will just have to see. I purchased one of these backs but have only had it a couple of days. The materials and machining are very impressive. It's been a long time since I've seen anything with such impressive build quality.
