Leaf Capture 11.5 Released: New GUI with lots of goodies for Aptus-II users

[Schmiddi]

Does this apply to the AFi-II 7 as well? No change to my back after updated the firmware.

According to readme-file only AFI-backs with serials LI... are updated. Mine is LF - so I didn't try (also because I don't have MAC ).
@Yair: Any chance, that LI-backs will be supported in future? The new GUI looks really good

we'll have a new version of C1 soon with the same firmware for windows users

There are no plans to implement the new firmware for non-II models

Well, I have a LF...-serial number, but it is AFI-II... But good news with C1 for me

Thanks Andreas

My back is also start with the LF serial number, but it is an AFi-II 7. Thus, what is the difference between the AFi-II that can be updated and the one that cannot be updated?

 

[Geoff]

LF serial number here too, AFI-II 7. Let's find out if they will upgrade.

 

[MP7]

Yes if possible I would like to upgrade my as well.

I have been in discussions with Yair on crossgrading my LF-series AFi-II 10 to an LI-series AFi-II 10 for about three weeks now.

No word back yet on this, but Yair has let me know that they're working on an answer.

 

[archivue]

yes much better... i just hope that it will remains compatible with leaf capture and C1 in the future... i will probably upgrade (P45+ V probably or P65+, or an Aptus II ? ), but i will keep the 22 as well !

Still as good as it was the day you bought it - better actually with several firmware updates over the years, and compatibility now with Capture One as well as LC as well as compatibility with new lenses (depending on which mount you have).

But yes, new development for that series should not be expected. I think and I hope you'll agree that Leaf gave you a pretty good length of active development and improvement and will continue to support you (essentially indefinitely) for any problems/issues, but to keep moving forward at some point they have to move on from older models.

We are happy to advise that in an upcoming Leaf Capture 11 version (date TBA), the new Leaf GUI, Lens Calibration while shooting to CF card, and accelerated performance will be enabled in all Leaf AFi-II digital backs.
Leaf continues to enhance functionality and improve the products we market.
Leaf Capture 11.5 has added tremendous value to all Leaf Aptus-II and AFi-II products, which have been in the market for a long time.

Leaf Capture and Capture One continue to support older Leaf Aptus, Aptus-S and Leaf AFi platforms, however new functionality, such as the new GUI is not implemented for these older generation platforms.

Thanks for the great news with the future supporting on my and other Leaf AFi-II backs.

Excellent ... something exciting to look forward too!

Leaf Capture 11.5.1 is now out, and appears to add the new GUI to additional backs. My Afi-7 is now the happy owner of the latest firmware, and the new GUI.

The release notes state the following:

Leaf Capture product compatibility
This version of the Leaf Capture software has been verified for compatibility on the following digital backs: Aptus-II, Aptus S, Aptus, AFi II, AFi and Mamiya DM digital backs.

While it does not explicitly state that the new GUI is now compatible with these backs, the notes are missing the table that was in the 11.5 release which showed several backs which were not compatible. I imagine Leaf will make an official statement, but thought I would share what I found today in this thread.

Thank you Leaf!

As Yair said before... that version seems fully compatible with a lot of back, but no firmware update for the older ones... not clear about DM backs....
it doesn't change anything on an aptus 22 for example, but LC still compatible !
A nice smooth transition !
I wish leaf had a back with long exposure capabilities...

I can confirm the UI update for the DM is not included in this release.

 

[Geoff]

worked fine on AFI II 7 (LF serial number). No problems.

 

[BradleyGibson]

Upgraded my AFi-II 10 (LF-series) last night. Everything works as advertised.

The performance improvements of the booting, zooming in and zooming back out are most welcome--thank you Leaf!

The User button is now quite useful. Although it is programmable, the default setting is great, and it lets one access important functions right away (such as ISO).
