Just acquired a Leaf AFI II 7 from this forum's very own Geoff. (Thank you Sir!)
Some might say yeesh what an old and antiquated thing, but in my usual contrarian way I'm excited to use it on my Hy6 Mod 2. It has a nice, big, and rotating (!!!) sensor. I love how well it speaks to the Hy6, no fussing with sync cables. 33mp seems like a rudimentary pixel count but on the other hand that's basically a 16x20 out of the box so to speak. Of course I still regularly shoot a D700 for professional applications so I'm not exactly a pixel peeper, but this back has far more detail than my D810 even with the lower pixel resolution.
It was quick and easy to begin shooting test images with my 50/2.8 and 80/2.8 AFD. From the looks of it ACR will read the .mos files if you shoot uncompressed, but I'm downloading the last version of Leaf Capture just to give myself a root canal.
This back will likely be mostly for camera scanning with the 90 APO, and some editorial portrait applications which require speed. I'm having a great time with it so far!
