I ordered months ago, almost 'automatically'. I am not convinced this is a smart move, but signed the contract, and it came so I will live with it.
Three concerns:
1. Is the Dalsa chip going to give a 'look' I don't like (after the kodak back, P25, P45 and P45+)?
2. Are the files just too damn big?
3.Will the glass (Contax 645) hold up?
As a serious amateur who rarely prints over 8x12 (but I do have 4 30" 2560x1600 for a really BIG screen :-) I found the ISO performance of P45+ wanting, and the 15MP mode here could be a good ploy.
If the glass holds up the extra MP are a real telephoto extender. AND I assume as always Phase tweaked the electronics etc for some imageimprovement (lower color cast I understand.
The two 'commercial' jobs Ive done, calendar and travel did just fine on the older backs, and I still like the film-like look of the original Kodak back. I think the Dalsa chip goes that direction.
I will try to post for those curious, but I really look for the pro's comments.
It's done, so I will make the best of it; who knows, I may be pleasantly surprised (right now a little sceptical of the swap.)
regards
Victor
