To sum it up:
- with the Aptus 75 , there is a high likeliness of having the centerfold issue when using non-retrofocus wide angle lenses ( all view camera lenses ), even worse while using shift / tilt, as needed for still life/ architecture photography.
- the software solution offered by Leaf is considered acceptable by some, but alters the file in a possibly undesirable way and requires shooting some white plastic sheet along with the actual shot.
- some users reported they experienced the problem with non wide angle lenses ( 60 mm and longer ) and the Hasselblad H1 .
I assume the Leaf R&D team has been made aware of the issue, and have all sorts of equipment at their disposal for testing.
Even though, there is no official statement by Leaf which addresses the problem...
I was really close to getting the Aptus 75, but now my local Leaf rep will have to deal with a tough customer regarding warranty and replacement.
Judging by the posts I've read, you guys affected must have the patient of a saint, waiting for weeks for a replacement or repair.
As a professional, I expect a free loaner or replacement back within a day, 2 days tops.
If Leaf can't provide that, they can not be considered a viable partner for pros.
Best,
Tom
