Phase One IQ3 100mp. Shipping now. Full frame CMOS. HDMI.

No blue skies today in this neck of the woods...... Even if there were some slight artifacts at 15mm I really do think that Phase has worked hard on casting issues and given the bleak forecast regarding LF lenses I think that this is all going to have to be handled on the software side. They've shown, to me, that they can with the 35XL...... I get the best of many worlds - low distortion, low casting, low weight. I compare this to the giant Rody 32mm and its tremendous out of pocket expense and I'm thankful I never succumbed to the urge to click the 'add to basket' button.

I still remember when DT first released their test results of the IQ250, we observed mazing artifact there. I believe such artifact is still visible in current version of Capture One. If it weren't for this, then the 35XL is really really a no-brainer for me, as you said, virtually distortion free and flare free and most importantly - lightweighted.

Yes...... as I've posted previously my 35mm went from a useless state to stellar after being serviced by Schneider. Another great but under reported lens is the Schneider 100mm. Sadly all the new ones are gone now - even at Linhof Studio. I'm glad I have mine..... lightweight, sharp, reasonably priced (at the time). Times are changing......

If Paula could lend me a 35XL to be tested on the IQ3 100MP, chances are that I might end up selling my 40HR and get the 35XL instead... I'm also interested in the discontinued 28XL but I don't think Paula has that in stock any longer.

what about the HDMI out for the other IQ-3 backs?
Right now only the IQ3 100 has HDMI. Not sure about the roadmap for future revisions of the other backs but knowing Phase One and given that it's a hardware change I'm sure that they would be a new version.

The HDMI option, if it works as well as hoped, would be fabulous for live view & image review with an external 7in monitor.

agreed for us outdoor users who don't really need tethering only a bigger viewer. wonder if implementing the HDMI was as problematic (read: delayed release) as the USB3? wonder how the live view resolution will compare to an ipad on wifi or a laptop on C1 connected by USB3?

HDMI has been working on the iXU150 (50MP CMOS) since its launch and is also available on the iXU1000 and the CMOS based iXU-R cameras

On the IQ3 100MP it looks like https://vimeo.com/151057225

Me too, Graham. Looks like another piece of hardware to acquire. The HD monitor is lighter and smaller than the Surface Pro thereby making for easier hiking/walking about when warranted.

I'll be interested in knowing if you purchase a small monitor (which one, please) and how you like it for detailed focusing. Thanks!

How long will it be before the IQ3-100 is Phase One's entry level back? You know its coming.
I would consider the P45+ to have only turned into one of our "entry level backs" as of last year. It was released in 2007 and was a minor update to the P45 (non plus) released in 2005.

So I'd say it will be the flagship or near-flagship for 2-3 years and a "not entry level" back for 7-10 years.

But it's all subjective.

The other IQ3 backs were released a few months ago:

IQ3-50 same sensor as IQ250 CMOS
IQ3-80 same sensor as IQ280 CCD (but now has long exposure similar to IQ260)
There is no IQ3-60 (correction - there is a 60, no IQ3-40).

The new back is the IQ3-100MP. So really an extension to the line. So IQ3 has 50/100MP CMOS backs and 80MP CCD back.

Hope this helps.
I was under the impression that the IQ3 80 was a brand new sensor, and not the same as that in the IQ280?

Kind regards,


Gerald.

Yes, I believe the 380 has a new designed 80MP sensor as it is rated to 1 hour exposures. Similar to how the 260 is 1 hour and 160 is not.

The long exposure or LP mode on the 380 starts at ISO 200. The 260 starts at ISO140.

I am sure one of the dealers can give all the details, but those are the two main things I noticed at announce. I assumed it was same as the IQ260, which I have told has a different 60MP sensor than the IQ160.

There was a white paper written about the 260, way back in 2012 or so, which might show up on a search.

Sorry Gerald, I seem to be talking through my *** today. I meant to say 80MP CCD, not necessarily same as IQ180. As Paul says, it's likely a new sensor based on the IQ260 with LE capability. When I looked at an IQ180-->380 upgrade some months ago, I also recall some comments made that it was an improvement on the LE capability of the 260.

yeow! those are $2000 monitors, for live view, not an output device!

gotta see if i can hook one up to my sony ar7II
