hi there,
I am quite happy shooting architecture with a Leaf Valeo 22wi (no screen, but almost no color cast) tethered to a 13" macbook pro, and a Linhof Techno view camera.
I think about upgrading to an Aptus 75 (which is getting pretty cheap by now), mostly to have a backup back if things go wrong on location. I was hoping that this would allow me to power the Aptus from its own battery while shooting tethered (mainly to save battery on the macbook, which only last about 4 hrs using the Valeo), but I heard that in case of the Aptus 75 you can either shoot tethered or use the battery. Is there a way/trick to work around this?
Also, does anyone know if the Aptus 75 draws more power than the Valeo 22 when shooing tethered?
best,
geb
