Opinions/Info on Mamiya RB67 with digital back

I currently have a RB67 Pro-S

I'm considering the option of a digital back, probably a cheap 22mp one.
but any internet search just turn up old info no newer than 2008 about the Mamiya adapter for the DB.
I can't even find the product on the official Mamiya page and its own page on the RB67 Pro-SD doesn't link to any digital back option/accessory too.
Another frustration is that when I got to the digital back websites (eg. PhaseOne; Leaf), they claim compatibility to RB67, but no further instruction/info.

I've seen this adapter sold on ebay though.


Does anyone here have user experience and info/knowledge on how I should go about doing it?

BTW, is it a fools errand to get such a low MP DB which isn't real 645 sized when I can get a modern 135 format FF camera for less?
I'm not looking at resolution. Only interested in DOF for the same FOV that the larger sensor can give.


Then again.... logically, I should just stick to 67 film for the DOF/FOV.

Thx in advance.
