Just as well you got in when you did, Darr...
I'm really gutted, as I am set to buy early next year. Perhaps not anymore...
PS: Love to hear your experiences / thoughts so far.
I was torn between buying now or wait till after the first of the year. In the end, I was afraid inventory would be depleted and/or the price would go up, so I took a gamble. I have been waiting to upgrade from the P45, but it had to be a major upgrade with Live View. The CFV50c answers my need, thankfully. Sorry to hear about the possible price increase. If you can buy from the seller I purchased from, I would recommend them. I had no hassles whatsoever and the back arrived new with a battery.

I started this thread regarding my initial images made with the CFV50c.

The ebay listing for this back still shows 2 available for the asking price of $13500.00. Is that the vendor you dealt with? My experiences with my Leaf back are similar to yours. The chip is very easy to work with and produces a wonderful file. Printed crops from this back and my Phase 80mp back at the 40 inch print level are indistinguishable. Great that you have had a good experience dealing with a vendor all the way from Japan.

Yes Victor, it was breguetcamera that sold me the CFV50c. As I said previously, I would not hesitate to purchase from them again, as the transaction went smoothly and the seller answered my questions before the sale promptly. The back arrived in new condition and was packaged well. Once the packaged arrived in NY, it went International Priority Mail to my door. Glad to know your Leaf back work so well for you.

Happy Holidays,
Darr
