With the anticipation of the Hy6 hitting the market, their are features differences among the Hy6 brands that may be important to your need. I would like this thread to consist the differences in features among the different Hy6. If anyone has some information please post it here.
I spoke to Steve Hendrix and brought up the issue of multi-shot back and how the new modern medium format SLR camera will have the feature to lock up the mirror to do 4 and 16 shots mode with the Sinar and Hasselblad MS backs. Traditionally, folks use the MS back on their Alpa or large format system where the mirror is not an issue. However, I want to use the MS back on my Hy6 camera. I hope this topic is brought up to Sinar attention. The older medium format SLR camera systems do not allow this feature.
Ok here is what I know this time in term of feature between the Hy6:
1. Leaf Hy6 will only need one battery in the fast action grip while Sinar Hy6 will require two batteries, one in the fast action grip and the other in the digital back.
2. Leaf Hy6 is going to the close system with their backs
3. Sinar Hy6 will remain an open system for different backs and different camera with their back.
BTW, if you do not know who Steve Hendrix is and planing to get the Hy6 you should consider talking to him. He is based in Atlanta.
