Hi,
about six months ago I bought a used Leaf Afi5 system with which I'm quite happy with after many years of Rollei usage (SL66 and 6008).
One thing which I don't get to work anymore is the firewire connection.
I connected the back to a Windows 7 (64bit) PC running Capture One Pro via a FW400 interface and adapter 400-800. Capture One Pro recongnized the back and noted that a new firmware should be downloaded. I accepted the download and the firmware of the back was updated. Afterwards the back was running with a new GUI. So far so good.
After some weeks I wanted to try tethered with Capture One and the camera but I did not get any connection. Even the windows device manager was not showing anything.
Phase One support was not very helpful. I got mainly the remark, that my firewire interface is the rootcause of the problem. I tried two windows computers, I got a Phase One prooven firewire interface card, I tried a MacBook (without Capture One) but I never got a firewire connection anymore.
I reseted the back to factory setting but nothing changed.
Did the firewire interface in my back die somehow or has the new firmware some issues with the Afi5 or do I have to configure something?
Has somebody experienced a similar issue?
Best regards
