FS: Leaf Credo 60 back (M645/XF mount) - MINT

With a very heavy heart I'm moving on to sell my beloved Leaf Credo 60 back. In the M645/XF mount. The Leaf Credo 60 is a dark horse of excellence for fashion and portrait photographers. Where the Phase backs are still supreme for landscape and product the Leaf backs are renown for being unmatched for fashion and portraiture - with the amazing CCD look and colour science. It's been a huge core of how my photographs look in recent memory.

Condition of my Credo 60 back I rate in MINT condition. It literally presents practically as new when held in the hands. Needless to say everything operates perfectly with this back. Fastidiously cared for and gently used in indoor studio environments only. Very low shot count of 4,265 frames, so you're in essence getting what is very nearly a brand new back. Included in the sale is the Leaf Credo 60 back, Hahnel twin charger and two OEM Phase One batteries.

I'm located in Melbourne, Australia - local and international buyers welcome! I'm firm on $5,999 AUD - if the back doesn't sell I'm in every position to keep it. Price does not include any freight, duties or customs fees or banking fees (PayPal, et al).

Happy to forward over photos to interested buyers only :)

the mount itself can not be changed, the back were simply exchanged for different mounts by the company. Cantact leaf

bad news, phase stopped "mount swaps" years ago

Because mount swaps in the case of Phase One digital backs were based on available inventory. The mount itself was never swapped, the entire digital back was swapped for one that was in the desired mount. As the various non-Phase One mount options (Contax, Hassy V, Hassy H) were discontinued, fewer of them were available in inventory, eventually none. Same for Leaf. Even in the older Aptus days, when there was an actual mount swap for the same digital back (I believe), a swap to AFi did involved a complete digital back swap, because the internals were too different. This might also have been the case with Credo backs as well. Can't exactly remember. Hey, in the meantime, some years have gone by!

Well, now that the XF is dead more or less, P1 might as well re-release V mount backs to annoy Hasselblad and make some V users happy! If any additional mount, that would be the one!
