Focus Peaking on MF
« on: September 15, 2015, 10:28:19 am »

Which models of Hasselblads have focus peaking? Do any other MF have this?

I don't believe any of the current MF CMOS backs offer peaking. I know that the Phase Backs don't.

Not sure if the 645z has it or not. 

It seems that peaking always comes with a EVF solution at least so far. Nikon and Canon don't offer it with their live view. However with canon you can get the Magic Lantern solution which does have a peaking offering but very rudimentary.

645Z has it, and it's fun.  It makes all those dirt cheap Pentax 645 A & 67 lenses functional.

Cool to know that.  I for one love peaking, with my older eyes.

Does it have magnification in LV? That'd be awesome!

Yes it does and you can use DOF preview with focus peaking to see exactly what will be in focus.

Leica S (Typ 007) has focus peaking. Selectable color. Can be used in magnified views as well.

If you are tethered to Phocus you click the A button on live view for fine focus. You can drag the point around. I am not aware of any in camera feature.

+1 to this.  I find it really useful even if it's an AF lens on the camera.  Allows easy manual/selective focus when on the tripod.

It works extremely well on the S 007 too, live view with peaking, af on any point on the screen, zoom in, whatever you like.
