Same goes for my F4 / F5 and D700 / D800 / D3s, and those cameras have about a 30 year lineage between the earliest and newest. :thumbs:OMG my old D100 and my D800 look about the same too.

It's actually an issue with any large leaf shutter, they simply cannot cycle as fast as a smaller leaf shutter. That particular lens has a very large leaf shutter, so it's max speed is 1/800th to begin with, not 1/1600th like it's smaller sisters. It's nothing Phase left out of the spec, it will be there when they go to market with it -- they were very up front about that when they showed us the lens in Denmark last month.Worth noting for anyone interested in high flash sync speeds with the LS lenses is I've just looked at the specs of the new 240LS on the Mamiya Leaf site and the top sync speed for this lens is 1/800 sec. A spec the Phase One website doesn't mention or has been highlighted in any info released by Phase.
Same lens construction, same min focal distance. I guess so. That's what they did already with the 150mm also: better lens barrel, leaf shutter, but same glass and half a stop less fast.So are you saying its the same design as the 28D but with LS and a Schneider badge?........ Surely not!
The user controllable focus calibration is
- PER back
- PER lens
- PER body
So if you have two backs, two bodies, and five lenses you can make sure that any combination is perfectly matched. No trip to the factory
While in five years I've only had a handful of customers send their gear in for focus calibration issues I certainly welcome this as a great step forward. It gives all the promised benefits of a closed system where the body+back are locked together in firmware while keeping all the benefits of an open system where you can use any body (new/used/borrowed/rented) with any back (new/used/borrowed/rented).
Now I just need confirmation which lenses and backs will support this feature. That's the sort of nitty gritty I'm not sure we'll get an answer to until closer to shipping date.
Got confirmation today: same elements, same grouping, same basic optical design.Same lens construction, same min focal distance. I guess so. That's what they did already with the 150mm also: better lens barrel, leaf shutter, but same glass and half a stop less fast.
All well and good but at nearly $5k for the current 28 D lens it should ALREADY be mounted by vestal virgins with eagle eye sight and rock steady dexterity as it is ... :thumbdown:Maybe they bought a K8 made by Zeiss , probably the most sophisticated device on the market , that´s what´s used for montage of our lenses in Oberkochen.
