    What is the cheapest way to try a canon EF lens with Phase one back?

    It's certainly viable to use a lens with no aperture control by locking the aperture at the one most commonly used (there are various ways of doing this, depending upon the camera system). I have several clients who also do this with Phase One Blue Ring lenses on Alpa and Cambo bodies. The...

    Oh dear. Peculiar fabric-like strands on the inside of front and real elements of an SK 120N. Any ideas?

    When it happens, it's not good. Sometimes it can be hard to completely eradicate fungus without it coming back again and again. But - I've never seen it on any of the lenses that we've had in our rental inventory, and the majority of those lenses have been on our shelf for many, many years. Just...

    Seriously .... the cat paw. That is great. They feel your pain. Sorry about the fungus. Steve Hendrix/CI

    Stack rail setup with Phase One IQ3 100 Digital Back

    We've been in touch with Mike. I don't know what the communication protocol might be for the device Mike is using, but recommended he check with Novoflex, since they have a cabling solution for their stacking device, they might share compatibility. Otherwise, Pocket Wizard does entertain...

    X2D Firmware 4.0 Multi shot 4x added

    The hvac system turning on ... I also don't know how consistent the results are with IBIS-based multi shot and how they compare with piezo driven motors from legacy digital backs. The comparison is a moot point for the most part, since the last piezo-based multi shot digital backs were the...

    X2D Firmware 4.0 Multi shot 4x added

    Previous iterations of the Hasselblad digital backs (pre-CFV) had a Piezo-driven motor that moved the sensor for the multi shot sequence. As a result, the chassis of the digital back was larger in order to accommodate this. There was a physical difference between a single shot and a multi shot...

    X2D Firmware 4.0 Multi shot 4x added

    Interestingly, I only see Single and Multi as options. But Karl Taylor's video shows an additional 6 shot option- hence the 400mp title. Why I'm not seeing 6 shot, I don't know. I restarted everything. Steve Hendrix/CI

    X2D Firmware 4.0 Multi shot 4x added

    I also saw that Matt Grayson indicated tiff export crashing. However, I exported without crashing. I'm using Mac OS 14.6.1 and Phocus 3.8.3. I would report this to Hasselblad and note your Mac OS (assuming one is using Phocus 3.8.3). The results are just as great as multi shot has always...

    Hand-held Pancakes

    Perhaps, if it had built-in rotation. But then you've added additional engineering, cost, tolerances, etc. And really, a bit beside the point. Once you've established where you like the components (copal shutter trigger, aperture handle, lens open/close switch, etc.) of the lens chassis to be...

    Hand-held Pancakes

    This is a good example of one of those Alpa attributes that extend beyond "symbol and status" - the square mounting format. This may seem like an insignificant random choice, but in fact was a well considered design choice made by Alpa (not by chance and not by Seitz) to incorporate a square...

    So, who is buying a Alpa these days?

    I have not found cost to be a particularly prominent buying criteria for those choosing between Fuji and Hasselblad - in general. I'm sure in some cases, yes, but once you're at $10k, going to $14k is usually not a deal breaker, with my clients, at least. In some cases, certainly, but in...

    So, who is buying a Alpa these days?

    Professional photographers often have the need, or at least the expectation - that a camera will have certain attributes so that they can complete the job reliably and consistently. Many of these attributes are present in 35mm cameras. From a certain perspective, and in a weird way, one could...

    So, who is buying a Alpa these days?

    Just for clarity sake, in the event you're referring to CI, I never discussed the ratio of pros vs non pros that are buying Alpa. Steve Hendrix/CI

    So, who is buying a Alpa these days?

    It's true - non professionals are the majority and always have been. Completely agree about that and I have evidentiary statements to me about historical camera sales from various manufacturers that goes back numerous decades that backs it up. Being the dealer that we are, yes, we have an edge...
