I'm on a very tight budget and bought an Imacon 22MG 528c used about four months ago for use with my 555ELD's. It provides a better image than my Canon 5D MkII, but does require color adjustment in Photoshop that the Canon gear doesn't need. I got a very good deal on the 528c, and have since added a second Image Bank in case of a disk drive failure at some point. I'm now considering selling it and going with a CFV-16 which I think I can buy used for about the same price that I'd sell the 528c for used. Issues I'm hoping to resolve with the CFV-16 are:
1. When shooting at anything other than ISO 50 the 528c produces a very poor image. I don't need to take it terribly high, but limiting it to ISO 50 with CF lenses means that I need daylight for most photos. Does the CFV-16 do better at higher ISO's?
2. Eliminating tethering to an Image Bank.
The CFV-16 is 6MG less image than I'm getting with the 528c, but I usually shoot square. Anyone have experience using both these backs that can tell me if this is worth my time? Also, is there a big difference between a CFV-16 vs. a CFV-16 II? I'd love to get a CFV-39, but it's WAY out of my budget.
