Ray this is more like the difference between the Kodak and Dalsa. Kodak i can speak more about since both the DMR and M8 comes from Kodak. this is a really easy call Kodachrome is the bottom line in look . Nice rich color great saturation and tone. Great detail also. I think the Dalsa maybe smoother looking in tone and sometime you will hear fashion shooters prefer it more but these are really small differences also. i would not concern myself too much about this because some of this can be done in post.Guy, Thank you, yes, I'm already sending notes back and forth with Lance. Just sent one off to him moments ago, actually.
Jack, thanks too for your thoughts on this. I'm finding the "minute" differences to be the one's I'm having the most difficulty with to tell you the truth. I'm just not keen on making a wrong decision on this one! By the time I'm done with acquiring the back this will be a substantial chunk of change invested in all of this and I'd have to hurt myself if I screw this up.
The Kodachrome look is attributable to your Leica glass perhaps.Kodak i can speak more about since both the DMR and M8 comes from Kodak. this is a really easy call Kodachrome is the bottom line in look . Nice rich color great saturation and tone.
Hi, Thierry,
Can you tell me more about the "45° modified for the Hy6"? Is this the normal Hy6 45° finder we see in the recent photograph you posted of the Hy6 and all the lenses, or is this a 6008 finder modified to work on the Hy6?
If the latter, where can I find more information about this modification?
Thanks,
Brad
I agree I am one of them:thumbup: Although not yet the owner of Hy6 I love the concept to be able to have one system and use Rollei/Sinar Lenses on ALPA Cameras etc., in addition to that you can use SINAR DB's with almost every camera on the market if you happen to change your mind or you simply like to Mix different looks/quality:thumbup:Marc,
There are a lot of Phase owners,that would love to stick their back on a Hy6.
Cheers,
Willem.
Now I use two Sinar backs : an eMotion 54LV and a Sinarback 54H on 3 platforms, ALPA + Sinar-M+Rolleiflex Hy6. 22mpx. is enough for me (now?).
Sorry for the long post.

Hi Natasa,...
You got me started, I would love to have all of the above only with Phase at the moment!!!
I don't personally think you can get more complete and integrated going any other direction..... if anyone disagrees, please advice:thumbup:
Oh, I thought she was praising the integration of the Sinar back across the Hy6, Alpa and Sinar MHi Natasa,
Wow, I was starting to think Marc Williams was making a great case for the Hasselblad system, but it is good to now hear your opinions on the benefits of the Phase.
Humor is healthy:thumbup: So at least you tried, better luck next time:ROTFL:Exactly....my feeble attempt at humor.
David
Sure thing....So, are you really happy with your Phase back system? or, given the right opportunity, would you trade it in for a Sinar back system? In fact, let's say that you would not lose even one euro in a hypothetical trade/transaction, which back/system would you prefer?Humor is healthy:thumbup: So at least you tried, better luck next time:ROTFL:

I started a thread a bit back on using my Hasselblad 39 back on my Horseman. Look here. Bottom line: works great. I agree with PeterA that using the Imagebank is as much of a plus as a minus.. . . . Downside to Hassy is the closed system approach. If you want to use your back on other cameras, e.g. Horseman or Alpa for stitched panos you are basically hosed. . . .
hi Brad,
The 45° prism finder you have seen in my snapshots of the Hy6 camera system is the 6008 finder, modified mechanically to fit the Hy6: so yes, it is both the one you see in the photograph posted as well as the 6008 modified one.
This 45° has been released and does ship, though there might be some waiting time since we have quite some backorders.
The 45° prismfinder (as well as the 90°) do allow that one can use the revolving adapter and revolve the back without taking it away.
Addendum: Furthermore, the 45° Prism Finder can be put over the focusing screen not only in the usual way looking to the rear of the camera, it can also be mounted in any of the four directions: looking to the rear, to the left, to the right and even to the front.
Best regards,
Thierry
