4-6 years for price-performance parity with MF. I've been tracking -- and

Price-performance parity for 35mm is very near, within 18-24 months. 4x5
will take until about 2012.
I'm also thinking about technical issues beyond sheer pixel resolution and
I don't know if you're taking that into account or not. IMO it will
require breakthroughs in recording technology, and quite possibly storage,
including its architecture.
