Hello Everyone.
My first post on this forum.
First I want to thank Jack and Guy for hosting this forum.
In my brief week of reading some of the threads and sections it seems like a nice place.
My first post is a question, or series of.
I'm in the market for a new system.
Looking at (in this order) Hasselblad H5d, Pentax 645D, the previous generation Leaf or Phase back in a Contax mount.
The only commonality to this list is all are ccd sensors and all are medium format.
My real questions are:
1. Has anyone used an H4d/H5d in heavy production tethered to a thunderbolt 17" powerbook?
2. Has anyone used a Pentax 645d tethered with their $200 simple tethering software on a mac?
____________________________________________________
Believe it or not, all 3/4 of these systems will work within what I do as long as they are reliable, tether well, have the ability to manual focus with accuracy and decent autofocus. 800 iso clean is also a requirement and in the samples I've seen the Pentax and Hasselblad seem to do this well.
____________________________________________________
For some background:
Presently own Phase One p21+ P30+ on Contax with full lenses. Also Leica m8, Canon 1dx, 1ds, fd2, Nikon D3, D700, all with full compliment of lenses.
For video work we have two RED 1's, with PL and nikon mounts, Scarlet with Nikon and Canon mounts, Sony NEX fs100 with Zeiss A mounts for quick autofocus video.
