Yes, of course, you are correct, but I think the discussion was
Ektachrome film, which is color, which precludes the monochrome, but
probably not the scanning back.

I assume the scanning back works like a scanner, with a moving tri-line
sensor for color work?  How long does it take to complete a scan across?
  I assume it is only to be used for "still life" subjects (or very
lethargic ones?)
