H1 P25  Not a problem

H1 P45 Not a problem

H1 A75 WAY TOOO many problems, back based problems.

H1 CF39 all sorts of issues!

RZ P25/P45 with leaf plates and all sorts of connectors no problems

RZ CF39 all sorts of problems

Two H1 bodies and five lenses and not a problem.  Travelled the world over with the kit and (KNOCK ON WOOD) not one problem.

Manufacturers like Leaf and Phase would do well to make a plate that communicates with the Pro IID with out cables regardless of your original mount.

Instead of trying to sell their closed systems!  The RZ is a bullet proof staple of our industry.

Mamiya make a adapter plate for direct connection.

I´d go for the 54H. no L moiree which you cant eliminate in 4 shot mode and so files look already cleaner with incredible resolution. but test the evolution, i havent done it.

The 75 H eVolution also works with the 4 shots mode. The 4 shots is an incredibely fine process. The files are, of course, clean and precise.

I use a Sinar 54H.  No problems with it ever.  4-shot is the only way to go with still life.  My next back will be the 75H.  

Best,
