See my 'tease' thread for more on this....Regarding the LS/FP shutter firing order, I suspect that the FP shutter would remain open depending on the activation time of the sensor. If it acts like a darkslide, the sensor remains juiced up at all times, otherwise the sensor sits in a standby mode, the FP remains open, and the leaf shutter acts like a leaf shutter. The behavior may be back dependent (considering that they now support various Phase and Leaf backs).
It is bigger than the FP version though not by much. About the same size as the old 35mm. The filter is ø72mmBTW did anyone notice these look fairly small. I know hard to tell but they really don't look any bigger than a normal 80 in size. Tim can you elaborate on the size of the 80mm and it's filter size.
Jack -Yaya/Tim:
Just curious: Does it take the film back or is the new body digital only?
Thanks Oren,Jack -
My understanding is that it's digital only, as was the Mamiya 645DF prototype shown at PIE earlier this year.
Thanks is the grip any differentIt is bigger than the FP version though not by much. About the same size as the old 35mm. The filter is ø72mm
I'm curious too----if the RRS or Kirk L bracket from the Phase 645AF/Mamiya AFD III will fit the new Phase 645DF, or is there a minor body change that would require an all new L bracket??Thanks is the grip any different
Yeah, I think Jack gets more worried whenever me or Don "think the same" as him....Thinking the same exact thing, scary.
I suspect that a new L-bracket is in order as this body is capable of mounting a vertical grip. Something has to have changed.I'm curious too----if the RRS or Kirk L bracket from the Phase 645AF/Mamiya AFD III will fit the new Phase 645DF, or is there a minor body change that would require an all new L bracket??
You're probably right, and I expected as much too. I believe the Phase 645AF and Mamiya AFDIII also required a new L bracket from the AFD/AFDII.I suspect that a new L-bracket is in order as this body is capable of mounting a vertical grip. Something has to have changed.
Confirmed. All old glass works on the new body. All the way back to the Mamiya lenses designed for the film-only 645 Pro TL and including the first generation Mamiya AF glass, as well as the Mamiya and Phase One "D" lenses and these new D LS lenses.I don't think there is any issue though with any older legacy glass. Dave mentioned earlier Hassy V with adapters, old mamiya and the new series D lenses. Plus the new leaf lenses. That is a lot of glass options out there.
