Re: Leaf
My apologies for dragging you into the AFI discussion: it seemed a bit unclear if you were refering to the back or the camera at the time, and I was looking for clarification as to the extent of Leaf/Phase interest in the body (not just the back).
Given that the F&H project for the Hy6 was set up to be adaptable to three different ownerships (Rollei, Sinar, and Leaf), confusion is clearly possible. Perhaps there were clear dividing lines, perhaps it was "if it works, we're all fine, if it doesn't, it doesn't matter". As you suggest, some of this has to be behind closed doors.
On the consumer side of the fence, as long as we can make it work and get what we need, and know where to go.... all should be well. Hope still springs eternal as to further revival of the platform, or at least that Sinar keeps supporting it.
Again, sorry to cause complications.

Re: Leaf
Actually, I think it's a feature of the Dalsa sensors in general, isn't it? I know the Phase P40+ and P65+ have a "zero" latency setting and don't need them now either. However I also understand Phase claims they remain desirable as noise can build up if the back is left on for any length of time. Also, I understand back battery life is reduced in that mode... Is that different for Leaf?

You don't need a back to use the app, all you need are some raw files in a folder on your Mac that is assigned as your Shots folder. You can download a few files from Leaf's website

Re: Leaf
Leaf backs use an advanced power management architecture that allows some of the internal components to be in "stand-by" mode between captures and wake-up to a signal from the body or the lens. The fan helps in regulating the working temperature so noise build-up is not an issue.
In terms of battery life I don't think that there's much of a difference between a P65+ and an Aptus-II 10 but I admit I've never measured that side-by-side.

Dalsa and Kodak use different sensor architecture. I am not sure about the new 40/50 Kodak ones but the older models were slower to re-set after capture compared to the Dalsas. The Dalsa sensor wakes up and flushes instantly, which means that you can keep it off and not worry about "preparing" it for the next capture with a wake-up or a 2-shot cable.
