i am amazed by the bitching that is going on here.....after reading (and complaining myself) for years about what the next back should and should not have, i think this one pretty much answers all questions...
full frame 645....check
12.5 stops DR....check
50-800....check
60mpix...yep
AND the best part: for all of us who don't WANT 60mpix AND want 1600....
it seems like we might get: 30mpix at 1fps (or aybe even faster) at 1600 AND ever higher DR....at full frame 645....that is insane...
i don't care if the thing has a 1,2,3,4,5 or 15 inch screen...you won't be able to judge it from that size....not possible.....
40000.-? thank all your friends who voted republican and did so again.....euro-dollar from 1:1 to 1:1.6 within a couple of years and that is not the end of it.....
either way i am not sure how this one can be topped anyway....for years these are the specs everybody in this forum has been screaming for...claiming to sign a check right NOW.....well, put your money where your mouth is......btw: it comes in contax mount....
i honestly don't see why i would ever need another back....no matter what anybody says...this one does 4x5 quality.....and it looks like it will do 35 speed and low noise AS AN OPTION!
so for 40000, i get to shoot 4x5 at 1fps for the rest of my life...all day long....not a bad deal at all....
my only problem with this announcement is that i guess i will never get to see this chip on the Hy6.....which means i will never get to use schneider with it....and i just don't wee where this leaves the Hy6 as a system.....and really this would be the system for this chip......
or leaf....i am not sure how that will work....dalsa working with phase on their flagship chip and leaving leaf....behind?
another note....i got flooded with emails from hasselblad and dealers with the H3D50 announcement....i have never owned a H hasselblad....
i have owned 2 phase backs and bought C1 to use with my canons.....nothing so far....
