Does anyone have this back yet?
As far as I understand, it's the same as the IQ250, asides from the Wifi tether (not sure how often I'd realistically use that) and the warranty?
Asking because I was looking into upgrading my P45+ to the IQ250 during the current P+ back promotion receiving $6000 more for the P+ back.
I am a Phase Ambassador and can double my accumulated commission towards a purchase. I was planning on taking advantage of the promotion, as well as my commission to get the new back, until Denmark said that the commission count's as a promotion too, and that I cannot stack them. Thus rising the price by $6000 more than I can realistically afford.
I am thinking of using the commission with my P45+ as a trade in to get the IQ150 instead. With the difference in price from the IQ250 that's a Profoto B4 pack or some other goodies for the studio..
As far as the warranty goes, if it's just on the back is that really necessary? I can understand buying an entire system with lenses and getting the 5 year warranty, but considering I have two h2 bodies and four lenses, I will most likely stay with the H system.
Thank you for any advice/opinions on this, hoping to possibly purchase it this month.
Edit: On a side note, I plan on only using this back on my H2 bodies, and may someday get a view camera to use the canon TSE lenses on it. I'll be using it with the HC 35, 100, 120, and 50-110 lenses. I'm hoping to increase the capability of my landscape work, especially at night. I think that the long exposure and high ISO capability blow the P45+ out of the water, despite loving that back.
