Dang Jim, these are nice... Making me regret selling my 55-110 and have me rethinking selling the ZD!

Jack,
Either hold on to it, or hold on to it until I have replenished my coin collection.

If only the fall financial aid were here now.... I think a ZD setup would be a better bet than going with Canon or Nikon FF when you're working on a tripod at low ISOs.

Damn, if I knew for sure I could put that sucker on my RZ I'd give it a try in the studio. Did Mamiya ever get that ZD/RZ adapter to market?

I know this back needs light to shine, but light levels are NOT an issue with 2400 w/s of beautiful Profoto illumination at work. And the RZ is strictly a studio beast IMO.

Jack, can this back be tethered to a Mac Pro and show screen views?

I'm off on a driving vacation (sold a camera to pay for the gas : -) ... but my destination will have internet connections.

Marc,

The ZD works on the RZ ProIID with the ZD adapter plate (which has been available since the ZD introduction).

I believe since the latest version of C1 4.1 now supports ZD that it can be tethered.

Damn, you Jim! :)

It's Jim's fault I even started searching out info on the ZD and found this for sale posting.

Well there is software for tethered , did not try it myself when i had mine. But I bet C1 will see this now. Jack can try it when he gets home or Jim can. Jim actually bought my ZD back

I just checked it is Firewire 400 interface and you can shoot tethered either to there program , Lightroom and i bet c1 also now since the ZD is supported by C1 version 4 now.

BTW C1 tethered is one of the best I have seen. Very fast but you still have to control the camera yourself
