New DBs from Mamiya
« Reply #40 on: April 12, 2009, 01:30:55 pm »

Unfortunately no news for me. I think that MF is still in the early development stage.
After all it is about sensor size but we are again seeing those cropped sensors popping
up and more over at my personal point of view no good price offer. Fast changes
in prices are good indication of maturity (though this time combined with a bad economy).
I'm only complaining because I'm more than sure this is about to change, I just need
to wait some more years. For 35mm it took quite a while to see FF, it's time for the MF,
sooner or later.

Do you think that the M22 will be usable on a LF camera using a simple mam 645 plate and a sync cord, or it will be only usable with 645 Mamiya ?

The future is now: the Phase One P65+ is a full frame medium format sensor.

Yes, it will work fine on a LF camera.

those new D lenses aren't cheaper, it's the legacy glass...then there is the leaf shutter issue, the list goes on and on...

Why can't they design an adaptor atleast for the older Leafshutter lens...????

Wow, that's steep. Comparing it to my 22MP back (Sinar eMotion54LV), the Sinar has a 3yr warranty, built-in solid state memory, live view and adapter system, and I believe it's around €6K now.

The Mamiya M31 seems more on a par with the Sinar eSprit65 pricewise and has same resolution, but of course the Sinar has 3yr warranty again (best of all MFDBs), the 3" VGA screen (best of all MFDBs), built in DNG and JPEG processing (the only MFDB to offer this), etc.

Brand loyalty aside, I can't see why anyone would buy these Mamiya backs at these prices.

Interesting: the extra cost of adding a body and lens is a relatively tiny EUR 2,000 for each back. This goes with the idea that DMF profits are dominated by backs, not by bodies or standard lenses (maybe subsequent lenses are a good profit source too.) Note also that Phase One is now effectively in control of the Mamiya 645 system, and that former executives of the back maker Imacon are mostly run the new "Hasselblad", and do it the former Imacon offices in Denmark.

This all suggests that there is little hope of the Hy6 system opening itself to Phase One backs: if the Hy6 back-makers (Leaf and Sinar, and Sinar's owner Jenoptic) are the main money makers, they probably control the decisions, and they have no incentive to share back sales with Phase One.

Not sure what you mean - the ZD is not similar in specs to the e54LV at all, other than MP count.

was just referring to the chip size and the resolution... which are in the first step the most significant specs

I don't see the Mamiya backs as new products.

The Mamiya cameras had to be rebadged as Phase One, and now the old Phase One backs are going to be rebadged as Mamiya.  Nice... and weird.  But now I can buy Phase backs at any retailer that carries Mamiya products.  That's good, but the prices better be a hell of a lot cheaper for this to make any sense at all.

Right now, I think the Mamiya DL33 (AFDIII and Leaf Aptus-II 7) is the best Mamiya package out there, but that's because I really like the Leaf files.

I have to agree on the DL33 package, but even better is that you can now get a demo DL28 (AFDIII/80mm Dig. Lens & Aptus II-6) for under 10k ($9,999.00). Thats with a full warranty too. I agree on the Leaf files too.

Don't they also use the same sensor?

I think they use the same Dalsa 22 MP CCD sensor
I refer to ZD (camera & back), Aptus 22 or 54s & Some Sinar ( A few use the Kodak)
Phase 40+ & 65+ (dalsa) the M18,22 &31 are Kodak.

The ZD back uses a Dalsa sensor, and so does the P65+ and all the Leaf backs.

The P20, P21, P30, P25, P45 and P20+, P21+, P30+, P25+ and P45+ all use Kodak sensors. This is from memory but I'm pretty sure this is correct.
