I can't see a tilt screen on a new Phase body as it would not interface with the existing backs. I have given this a lot of thought, and if they give it screen, and it takes a current Phase back, the thing would be huge to accommodate the back and still have a tilt screen. And if they give it a separate screen that tilts, somewhere else it will still be pretty big. At least as I try to think about it.
I would love to see a Phase back, with a tilting screen, that would be RICH!!, and it may happen with the next generation of backs, anyone's guess. It would not be that much to add, sure it would possibly compromise weather sealing, but that's out the door anyway with a IQ2 and the huge plastic plate on top of the back for the signal.
Many photographers don't seem to need or appreciate the advantages of such a screen but to me it's huge, as you now have a waist level finder and much more flexibility in viewing the screen in mixed light. It would be a great advantage for a DF type body, at least to my needs.
No doubt the new body is right around the corner however.
I do have to wonder where it will price. Right now, if you purchase a DF+, you have an offer to upgrade, not sure how much. However the list of a new DF+ $4995.00, just camera is and has been pretty steep. Phase did not offer a DF to DF+ trade in, or if they did, my dealer never let me know. I would have easily traded up.
So new body, in the 5 to 6 K range? It will be interesting for sure.
