I have seen mention here of a new release of firmware for the Phamiya. I am planning to purchase one in a couple months. Since we have to send in the body to have Mamiya do the update (not sure the logic behind this simple procedure) I plan to hold off on the purchase for the new firmware as I have several phot trips planned (tied on to work related conferences) for the first few months of 09. I am hoping it addresses a couple of my wish list items.
I do mostly landscapes (www.skylightimaging.smugmug.com). For those that use Phamiya what is your experience on turnaround time for firmware updates?
- For mirror lockup it should hold the mirror up for all exposures when in AEB mode instead of the current method of having to raise it for each exposure
- A user assignable mirror lockup button that raises the mirror and does not lower it until pressed a second time
- AEB range of more than 3 shots (I do some HDR work)
