I "went over to the dark side" and bought a digital camera in 2005. I would like to put my 4x5 camera back in service for landscape photography. Of course, film is still an option, but it is getting expensive. I would also need a better film scanner to do the film justice. I've scanned 4x5 film on my Kodak 3570 scanner (4 scans to cover the image). This provides about 900 pixels per inch on film that can deliver 3000 to 4000 ppi. A Better Light scan back would be a nice option, but they start at $5000 for a used unit. They make film and processing prices look reasonable. I've seen sliding backs that allow you to attach a medium format or full frame digital camera and take several exposures to cover part of the image plane. It looks like the largest image you can capture with a full-frame DSLR is about 3x3 (camera in vertical position taking two rows of three images). Is there any reason why a sliding back can't be designed to allow four rows of three horizontal images? This would cover more than 75% of the 4x5 image plane. Is such a device available? Are there better options for large format digital images?

The 70-200 f/2.8 lens is a good choice for football. The pros will use a 400 F/4 most of the time, but you can get a recent model used car for what one of these lenses cost. These same pros often have a second body with a 70-200 f/2.8. I'm not familiar with the performance of the T2i. The biggest factor for me was autofocus. A camera/lens combination that rapidly adjusts focus when players move is a huge advantage. It is possible to pre-focus, but this limits your options. If you have access to the sideline area, you should follow the line of scrimage up and down the field. If you want to concentrate on the quarterback, you can be behind the line of scrimage. If you want pix of the running backs and receivers, move downfield. If you are confined to the stands, The best option is the front row of the end zone. This is not a good location to watch the whole game--you can only see half of it. It will get you close to the action some of the time. Here is an example of what an amateur can get at an NFL game:
