PhaseOne 60 mpx sensor

[robert zimmerman]

I'm sorry Guy, but gold requires a software update and will not be available until 2nd quarter 2010.

I guess this is also a good time to announce our new preview system to replace those pesky lcd's.



It comes with a used SX 70 and 1 roll of special medium format double stick tape.

cool! a major improvement over my aptus lcd - or is this a closed plattform solution for phaseone owners?

Kipling,

This is an open system that is cross compatible, except it may not be used with cameras that do not have the correct color scheme, which means it is an open/closed system.

Please do not confuse the issue.

Phase and Leaf is black (Leaf slightly less black),  Sinar has that beautiful Amana Refridgerator Blue and Hasselblad,  you guessed it, Silver and Platinum.

Though it may look like the same system any attempt to use the blue preview system with the black capture device will not work.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[thsinar]

James, did you again forgot that Sinar proposes an adapter system for any needs, e.g. to adapt the black capture device to the blue preview, and vice-versa?

Thierry, Thierry, Thierry,


Please do not confuse the issue.

I am only here to set the record straight and can not let confusion get in the way of my confusion.

I've tried to keep this system as simple as possible. The Blue system works only with the blue capture devices and the films that come in the blue box will only fit in the blue system, (unless you  can't find them, then you can use the black films in the blue system, but once again only with the blue capture device.

It's not about me, it's about the end user's experience.

Clarity . . . please.

JR

P.S.  We will have special film to digital to film, blue, platinum and black seminars in your city soon.

Watch this space for details.

James,

Life, and photography in particular, isn't that easy and simple. If it wouldn't be confusing there would be no fun.

okay,

is this open closed system completely wireless, allowing the preview device immediately to be thrown across a room to an art director, while he's drinking a latte? or does it need to be rubbed on the body of an assistant for 60 seconds first.

and if so, will the assistant have to be wearing the correct color scheme to activate the preview device...or is there a firmware fix for incorrectly color schemed assistants?

[Natasa Stojsic]

Gidday,

The story I got was the new Phase 60 mpx chip MIGHT not be a Kodak chip.

Cheers

Haven't spoken to you in a while Mr. Russell.  

Glad to see that you haven't lost your twisted sense of humor.  

I would like to order the Contax Texas Beef BBQ version please.  

 

[Natasa Stojsic]

All this got me thinking and I believe I have a new way to stay current and not have to worry about those time consuming hardware upgrades.

Stickers!

Yes, it's wireless, and doesn't need batteries either. Think laundry chute!

And Sinar will make adapters for any color except blue. An adapter set will look something like a Macbeth ColorChecker, with all the blue squares blanked out. You simply peel off the color you want and stick it on the assistant's back! Rumors of PhaseOne coming out with a blue adapter will continue to crop up on the forum every three months.

Cheers,
Kumar

See James, I told you, life isn't that simple!

It should be.  

I was having some fun with all of this but now to be semi-serious.


I wrote earlier about a friend of mine that loves his Contax and went into a store to buy a digital back, cash in hand.  He doesn't want a new camera, (he can afford it   . . . just doesn't want it).

He wants to  buy a back, snap it on his contax and take some pictures and wants to buy it today, not wait 3 weeks.  He wants to process in photoshop because he understands photoshop, he wants the colors and the texture to look like film without a hundred different corrections.

He wants the lcd to look as good as his wife's 5D, he wants the back to be useable on other cameras if he choses to buy something new.

This friend of mine is the perfect representative of a huge market of advanced semi professional photographers that want's it easier, not harder and want a way to justify a $18,000 to $24,000 expenditure.

In other words simple.

JR

P.S.  I'd like to add that as much as I think this is overly complicated, I am amazed that everytime I push the button I get the equivelent of a drum scanned image.

That is just magic.

[James R Russell]

I guess that's the part I always missed.

I never thought it was twisted, just normal.

I hope you give yourself some room in your day to have a little bit of fun...

We do.

[Leonardo Barreto]

What is the size of the sensel in the new Kodak 50MP chip?

This is the way things are for the Phase family. I have a back with size 9, so, if I get 50MP with much less sensel size will I be upgrading or downgrading?

P 45 6.8 x 6.8
P 25 9 x 9
P 30 6.8 x 6.8
P 21 9 x 9
P 20 9 x 9

James,

Your humor is getting as good, as if not better, than your images.
We're all in pain from laughing too hard.
You might have a chance at a new career in impro.

Are you a multi-talented individual, or is this is the midlife crisis ?

Edmund

Stickers!



Not only is this upgrade package cost effective, but you can actually have the newest back, even before the press release.

It costs me $1.75 to make the stickers, but I will price them accordingly  (set of one) at  $75.99.

Value Added 24 hour replacement $175.99.

Each set  will come with a set of instructions of how to interpolate your current 90mb files to 300mb  (photoshop not included) and as a special bonus how to downsize your files back to 27.8 mb when your client requests a 300 ppi full page ad (including bleed).

I'll  soon have them out for other brands so if your a Leaf, Sinar ** or Hasselblad*** user you won't be left out.

JR

*prices subject to change

**hy6 stickers 32% higher

***Hasselblad stickers are not compatible with any other brand
