I'm 7 years late to the party but never mind.
I have just bought an old H2 with a 22Mp back which has a multi-shot capability; I also use that back and an Ixpress 528C on my Contax 645. I have to accept that we're confined to home right now so outdoor piccies will be tricky but the lockdown is a good excuse to shoot some still life indoors and try the multishot facility. The only problem is the size of the files - 528Mb. It's a shame that massive compression will be needed to display any resulting image on this website but I'll give it a go...

Hi jotloob, I know you are quite right but the compression of a single 528Mb photo to something around 1Mb must mean that the amount of detail picked up by the sensor will simply be lost in the compressed image. Thus, the potential impact of the photo will be lost to a viewer.
On a side note, I've had to upgrade my PC to handle regular post-processing of such large files which was not an expense I thought about when upgrading the digital back. Dumb or what!
