Title: How Much Time Between Releases?
Post by: Atina on January 29, 2014, 06:16:54 am

How much times typically passes between the major camera and back releases from Phase, Mamiya Leaf, Hasselblad, Leica, Pentax and all the others in the digital medium-format camera / backs business?

Look at historic releases. Cycle is typically something like 2-4 years, it's not so easy to predict. Camera body and digital back cycles can differ too.

Indeed, and it also depends on one's definition of 'major releases' ...
