Hi all,
I just talked to the Mamiya dealer here in sweden. The price for the Mamiya ZD back will be 69.000 swedish crowns plus taxes which put the price just beside the Phase One P21 refit back also avaible here from some dealers. What would you do? 22 vs 18 mpx? Phase or mamiya? I'm planning to go over to digital soon. I'll live my Contax and switch to Mamiya. The only reason is the Contax's autofocus. It's just too slow. Frustrating some times! Hasselblad is not an option, as I've had an H1 and it's pretty OK but very overpriced and the lenses are big as trains. So I'm sure mamiya is the way to go. I thought the ZD back was my choice but the price in Europe won't be as low as in USA and the P21 is just there at the same price.
What do you think?
Thank's for any advice

if you shoot people/fashion...not a question...P21...faster, 16bit, the difference in resolution...well check out what people say about the 5D compared to the 1DsmkII and that difference is bigger in therms of %.....
i am not badmouthing the ZD, but it shows that there are options out there...i would definitly try to get a demo on both and compare raw files.....
the af on the mamiya is still a joke....on the afdII it is about even with the H2, but still not really workable for me....if you work in studio, check out the RZ with the phase adapter...superbright finder image...if you like WLF....
