One email to SWMBO and my debt is cleared and your's just beginsHey you where supposed to get that for me. Lol
Okay than Vodka and fish stories is about all I can handle. LOL
If I was in that situation I'd probably go for the IQ180 too. I've been a bit surprised how many tech cam users that use the IQ180 rather than the IQ160, but I guess this is the answer. The upgrade paths Phase One choose to make available makes it easier to choose the way Phase One prefersWhen the IQ series was announced, there wasn't a Phase One sponsored upgrade path for the IQ160 for those who already had the P65+. It was the IQ180. It was a sweet deal for sure, and didn't make financial sense to get the IQ160, extra pixels be damned.
Which is the major reason I have the IQ160 and not the 180.No regrets here. But *yikes* you're pretty much relegated to the newer D series and SK LS glass on the DF body or Rodenstocks (wide) on tech camera bodies...
So first to buy the tech camera, then the digital back, then lenses that can match that combo, no thanks, i don't have enough money to buy all these, getting the back alone will cost a fortune, so to add for body and lenses is too much!Only issues really are with a tech cam and the older Schneider lenses in the wide area 24,35 XL's. On a DF not a issue at all and if you do buy it for a tech cam you just need to buy Rodie lenses in either 23,28,32 after that the Rodie 40 and/or SK 43 work just fine and above. Bottom line in SK the starting point is 43mm. Rodies no issues
