LC 11.2.4 has been out for a little while now.
Leaf have released today (1st June 2009) version 11.2.7 for the AFi II 10 and the Aptus II 10 plus additional support for raw file formats in OS 10.5.7.http://www.leaf-photography.com/support/downloads
Peartree, is there anything at all that you can say about Leaf's state to stop all the Leaf owners from jumping off cliffs?
All I can say is, we at Peartree in the UK are continuing to supply and be supplied from Leaf, both the Aptus II and AFi II product lines. I would suppose that Kodak, as a public company would not comment on conjecture and speculation and probably have instructed their employees to do the same. Remember, supporting professional photographers for the guys at Leaf, isn't just a job, it's a vocation.
Keep the faith!
... Kodak's closure of certain pro digital projects ...
The news is that Kodak ISRAEL has closed its small (50 person?) pro digital division; that is not the same as Kodak overall having ended its pro digital division, since it is more likely that Kodak has simply relocated/consolidated that activity.
... most likely they might shift the production to alongside the SLR/n.
Very funny. If you think that Kodak is no longer involved in the pro digital sector, you have overlooked its production of sensors for various digital medium format backs

Yes, Phase One and Hasselblad. Phase One's most recent two backs use Dalsa sensors... Significant?
But Hasselblad still uses lots of Kodak MF sensors, including the 50MP one in its most recent back.Are you seriously suggesting that news of the shut-down of a 50 person operation in Israel is evidence that Kodak's US-based sensor operation is being shut down?
At this time I am avoiding making any conclusions at all. There is too little information. You have to wonder what it means when a long-time Kodak customer switches to Dalsa though.
Carsten,It is meaning nothing else but that a manufacturer buys/gets the sensor which he needs (technically speaking), at the time he needs it and at the costs he gets/can afford/needs it from THIS sensor manufacturer who can produce it.
This makes sense in the general case, but as far as I am aware, Phase has *always* bought Kodak sensors, until the P65+ and P40+. I find it difficult to believe that now being the first time that Dalsa sensors have made more price/performance sense than Kodak is a coincidence. There are many possible theories about why this might be, of course, including coincidence. Another would be that Kodak has not been advancing as fast as Dalsa recently, due to R&D cutbacks. There are others too. I just wish we had more information.
