Well it's in our hot grubby hands. Lance Schad from Capture Integration (and you may want to copy this down now just in case: 305 394-3196, e-mail lance-at-captureintegration.com) was kind enough to arrange with Steve Hendrix from Phase One the P65+ for us to test. What Lance did not know when he hit San Francisco to meet us that we kidnapped him and brought him to the Seirra's to test the P65 against the P25 and P45 + backs. Let's get some of the details out of the way first. Let's remember this is a pre-production back and the firmware is obviously not optimized yet for full production shipping. So think of this as a sneak peak of what is too come. At this time there are some recommended parameters such as not to use the back above ISO 100 and not to go longer than 1 minute on exposures. Some quick details the raw files are 60 mgs each and a fully processed 16 bit Tiff is roughly 360 mg file. Holy smokes batman that is one big file and my laptop is feeling the pain. LOL
We only have a few samples from today because of the weather and time permitting so tomorrow we are planning a full day of testing and also with the use of the Cambo RS 1000 and a full compliment of lenses from Schnieder and for our Phase body and a variety of Mamiya lenses.
Here is a shot I shot off the deck of Jacks cabin hand held. Shot at ISO 100 at 1/350 second at F 9.5 with my 80mm lens, processed with basic P65+ settings in C1, NO additional sharpening or processing or adjustments. Basically, what you are seeing is straight out of the camera :bugeyes:. Fair warning this is something else and credit cards will melt now. Personal attitude I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE THIS. Folks the detail is just scary and I am on a laptop no less. Full frame first than some 100 percent crops, 900 x900 pixels
