i am planning on buying a new MFDB kit. Currently i have none, so its a start to build a system that can work for me in a studio situation and will also be placed into a rental department. The camera will probably be mainly used in studio with flash but also for other other location work.
I am reticent to go with Leaf back after the phase buyout. Having read the
DX0 mark reports, i am quite sold on a P40+.
I have my eyes on a P40+ back mainly because of its speed, which is a bonus for fast fashion shoots. I am just deciding whether to go with the phase one camera system or get the H mount for use with the H2 / Fuji GX645 body. i am personally more familiar with the H2 body than the phase and i like the faster sync speeds. I am concerned that Phase cameras only sync at 1/125 which could limit usage when using strobe outdoors.
So if i go with the H2-style body i guess i will be buying Blad glass. But i guess one concern is the H2 system is now obsolete and support may be a problem.
I would love to hear some anecdotes about the phase one camera system in use in studio set ups - pluses and minuses etc. Also - any thoughts about the P40+ with the blad bodies?
Thanks
