Dan, your BW conversions blow me away, cannot imaging what you could do with a Achro back. Maybe time upgrade that Aptus 5....I really wish that all clients had the decency to always, no matter what, assign me to black & white photography....
If I was a hobbyist I would not hesitate for a split second - the achromatic would be my companion. Oooh yes!
Oh I did not know that - thanks. Any link to see it?"They?" His name is John Milich. And he's family here.
At launch: one device only.Any idea if the backs can support multiple WiFi feeds? It would be pretty damn awesome if client, stylist & I could all be working off separate iPads.
The screen on the back is quite good. There are several use cases for an iOS review:my old hassy h3d-39 feels more and more antiquated ...
this new iq260 would suit my arca very well.
but why would anyone want to preview the files on an iphone?
the screen of the back is almost equal. :loco:
Wouldn't you miss the long exposure mode of the color IQ260? Long exposure can be quite useful for artistic purposes... but the standard 2 minutes is maybe enough?I really wish that all clients had the decency to always, no matter what, assign me to black & white photography....

Jagsiva, thanks It is very true that since the entrence of the Credo 60 my Aptus 5 hasn't seen much love. But the truth is that the Aptus 5 is a great back and I still value it. Besides that I get more dots with the Credo, there is also considerably more DR. As to upgrading the Aptus 5 to an Achromatic.....well... I guess there would not be a huge difference of giving it up or not...Dan, your BW conversions blow me away, cannot imaging what you could do with a Achro back. Maybe time upgrade that Aptus 5....
The long exposure feature is nothing less than fantastic and if anything, that would be the single factor to consider that back instead. But I think the Achromatic would win in the end....I just love the concept.Wouldn't you miss the long exposure mode of the color IQ260?

Hmm, maybe I should just pay for a night / extreme exposure / light painting photography workshop for one of the phase engineers/product managers so that can understand why this is such a big deal to some of us.
Tonight I was shooting the Racetrack in Death Valley using light painting on the rocks & tracks and another set up shooting star trails. I'd love to be using my MF gear but I can only do this effectively with my loathesome Nikons. (Actually they're not really loathesome, it's just that I'd rather be shooting 4x5 ratio with my DF or Alpa vs using a different system just for this). Make LENR an option - heck make it a three finger convoluted key sequence to enable/disable you want, but I'd trade off post process NR with a dedicated dark frame (like LCC really) vs having to wait between shots.
Doug, I am curious about the quality of the IPAD image from the back. I assume that the IPAD pulls up a JPEG from the camera. What is the size of the JPEG and how does the quality of that JPEG on the IPAD screen at 100%compare to a tethered 100% view on a monitor?The screen on the back is quite good. There are several use cases for an iOS review:
- somebody other than the photographer wants to review the image without stopping the shoot or being directly over-the-shoulder (art director, stylist, assistant, etc)
- the want/need larger image (especially with iPhone 5, iPad Mini, iPad)
- when the camera is mounted too high, too low, up against a wall, mounted overhead etc and the camera LCD is not convenient to view
I wish ... With the Nikons you're definitely right though.Graham,
Our friends from Denmark already knows that you will buy multiple MFDBs. Hence while you capture dark frame for another hour from MFDB # 1, you can start shooting your next frame with MFDB # 2.

Quality of display on the iPad is the same as the back of the camera. Which means (for those who have seen an IQ back) nearly identical (possibly even a bit better) than a standard laptop display, and not that far from a dedicated Eizo.Doug, I am curious about the quality of the IPAD image from the back.
