Hi Ton, it's the same 56MP, 6µ sensor as in the rest of the Aptus-II 10 line
If you rotate one of the smaller sensors inside a 645 film gate you would get a vertical of ~41X33mm @ ~37MP (from the 6µ) sensors.Hmm - might it work to rotate one of the "small" sensors in a 645-body? Those sensors are 33x44, and small edge of 645-film is 43,x (if I'm right). So it even might work with those sensors on Contax or Mamiyas? Just thinking

Agreed - but economically nonsense: the only modern body would be the Hy6 - and this was buried by German incompetence in marketing (technically my fellow countrymen made a close to perfect system in my eyes) and then later by PhaseOne (there is an interview with Henrik Hakonsson in German magazine Profifoto, where he clearly states that there is absolutely no hope for Hy6!). Hasselblad V and view cameras are simply a to small base to make profit from the development of such a sensor.56 x 36 rotating sensor............how about 56 x 56 NON rotating :thumbup:
A 4:3 crop (on-the-fly in tethered mode) gives you a 48MP frame (or you can shoot square at 36MP)Seems like the wrong back to do this with. A 2:3 ratio isn't very suited to verticals at least for my way of shooting. 3:4 yes but not 2:3
Hi Andreas, not this time but soon enough!Well - really would like to meet you, but this is a bit too far to drive. Maybe you'll come to NRW (Düsseldorf/Cologne as a hint) too?
Andreas
Ahh - another fan of this volcano in Island :deadhorse: I had meetings in Tallinn on Thursday - but driving some 30+ hours each way for one day with meetings is too crazy, so we cancelled the meetings and will try again in 10 days...Speaking of driving...last Tuesday I drove from Copenhagen to Calais in 13.5 hrs...this was the second to last leg of our long journey from Moscow back to London; 3 days, 8 countries, 2 trains, 2 boats, 2 cars and about 6,000km...
