Title: Leaf Aptus-II 8 VS Phase one P40+ pro and cons ? and others...
Post by: archivue on August 25, 2010, 04:40:28 pm
a friend of mine is in the process to buy a second back... he needs a back up, and his aptus 22 worked a lot...
he's already own an aptus 22.
Cameras : Arca RM3D, Arca F line 69 and mamiya AFDII.

He will keep the 22... good back for architecture anyway, and it's always good to have a back up.

options in his price range are :

Leaf Aptus II 5... good price, similar to the aptus 22

Phase one P45+... more pixels, and long exposure... but low iso as well

Phase one P30+... nice complementarity with the aptus 22 but, not usable with movements...

Leaf Aptus II 8 or Phase one P40+ are maybe the better balance, even if the sensor is smaller (his 28, will be similar to a 31 on the Aptus 22... not a big deal)
what's the difference between this two ?

The P65+ and similar are way too expensive.

what are your opinion about it ?
