Hey All,
I had a Leaf AFI, Hy6 body question. I purchased my Leaf AFI 7 when Calumet panicked and dumped all of their Leaf AFI kits when things went South a few years ago. I'm glad I held on to it, because I'm thrilled with it even more, now that both companies are still around & support and upgrades are available.
My HY6 is all original, Version 2 or Index 2, so recently I email DHW and asked about the upgrades that were available for my camera. I received an email back from "Frank" at DHW, here's a copy of his return email:
you have an camera with index 2. the last index is 4.
by the upgrade you get an new handgripmechanism, new elektronik for the AF,
new mirrormagnet, new AF-mirror and new Software with new funktions ( AF-offset ) the endprice included tax and shipping is 542,64€
$735 is a hefty sum to upgrade an essentially new camera body. Is there anyone with experience out there who can explain in detail what is going on with the upgrade list above? Or is there an article somewhere I can have a look at that explains how the upgrades improve the camera. Of course, I want to upgrade my Hy6 body, but I'd like to know in detail what I'm paying for.
Thanks for your help.
