Unlike rear-LCD’s on any other camera or digital back so far, this truly can be used to evaluate image quality. My first thought was that it was akin to looking at a 6X7 transparency on a light box. Compared to anything else on the market it is eye candy – big, bright and offering high resolution. The first thing that catches your attention about the Aptus is its drop-dead screen. Not something you want to hang around your neck or carry all day, but manageable for long periods of hand-held shooting nevertheless.

In fact 35mm DSLRs like the Canon 1 series are almost as massive. But, the back alone isn’t that heavy, and when mounted on any of the 645 or 6X6 cameras, will be no more of a handful then its prime competitor the Phase One P25. It also had a 20GB digital magazine attached, and so was quite a handful. The Aptus back that I examined was mounted on a Hasselblad H1. Neutral, pleasing, and accurate colour are noted.

– Almost full-frame 645 format 22 Megapixel back for all major medium format brands First shown last fall, and originally scheduled for February shipment, though several months late the wait appears to be have been really worthwhile.
While the model that I had a chance to examine (though in a limited environment), did not have its final firmware, and therefore several functions were not fully operational, in most respects the back was just about ready for prime time and so worthy of a first look.Īnd worthy it appears to be. The Aptus, which I am told will ship before the end of May in mounts for Hasselblad H and V models as well as the Mamiya 645, and the Contax 645 about a month later, comes in 17 and 22 Megapixel versions. In early May, 2005, thanks to Amplis, I had an opportunity to spend several hours examining a pre-production Aptus 22in the company of Ilan Carmi, Leaf’s Product Marketing Managerfrom Israel.
