I guess if you have the money you can have a custom one made for your LF 8x10 to replace your polaroid back.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars to prototype a 10 megapixel 8x10 full frame sensor? Call me dubious. Either the article is 15-20 years old (maybe not--there's an iPhone in the accompanying pic) or the fellow is completely daft (err- could be), or it's all complete and utter bullshit good for a laugh (and I'm sort of glad it's at his expense--not mine-- and such a great expense at that!).
