Title: SOLD: Leaf Aptus II 12-R, 80 megapixel back in your choice of mount
Post by: Graham Mitchell on September 05, 2012, 05:39:34 pm: Selling my Leaf Aptus II 12 R in Hy6 mount with staggering 80 megapixel image quality :) (Selling due to personal reasons - if I could keep it I would!)

Technical details here: Leaf Aptus-II 12R 80MP digital camera back (http://www.mamiyaleaf.com/products_aptus212r.asp)

I bought it with the Leaf Gold Package, which means there is nearly 2 years of warranty left and one free mount swap. In other words you can either keep my A+ condition back in AFi/Hy6 mount, or get a fresh factory replacement in another mount.

Includes original case, 2 batteries, charger, and manual.

I also have an excellent condition Hy6 camera as an optional extra, and some lenses. Please enquire if you are interested.

Price: €17,000 + shipping

(If you are in a major European city or NY I might be able bring it to you by plane, but that can be discussed later)

Regards,
Chris

Yes I am VAT registered but that price is ex-VAT as I expect the buyer to be a VAT registered business or outside the EU. Sorry, should have been clearer about that.

Post by: Graham Mitchell on September 17, 2012, 08:44:10 am: I'm planning a trip to NY as well, so I could also bring the back with me to NY if the buyer agrees.

Post by: EricWHiss on September 24, 2012, 12:43:14 pm: Actually the cool thing about the AFi mount is not just the AFi/Hy6 platform which is awesome, but also that it can be reversibly fit to a Mamiya RZ or LF camera with Leaf's adapters and also to quite a few technical cameras that take the Hy6/AFi mounts. Cambo, Alpa, arTec, to name a few. Kapture group also makes sliding backs with Hy6 adapter plates. This back has the revolving sensor and the articulating screen which make it really useful as you don't have to remove it to change orientation and the screen tilted out is so much easier to see when working with tripods or camera stands.

Post by: EricWHiss on October 18, 2012, 08:34:01 pm: It was listed at $35k or something like that here in the US but that was without the 'gold' warrantee and mount swap package.
