In your dreams.The 56k quoted somewhere for the bundle are with three tech lenses?
So means with back trade ins one can get IQ150, XT body, three lenses into the sub 40k region?
Wouldn't that be nice, huh?In your dreams.
Not a chance on this being true!
Perhaps a dumb question, is there a (easy) way to change the aperture on the Canon TS-E? (via P1?)On the topic of lens flexibility...
Today: Canon lens compatibility is provided by the Cambo Canon adapter which has an aperture control built in. This controller blocks easy access to the release mechanism, but DT has an exclusive lens-release tool that solves that problem elegantly.Perhaps a dumb question, is there a (easy) way to change the aperture on the Canon TS-E? (via P1?)
When pricing out Alpa make sure you remember the various components you'll need that the XT includes natively. For example Alpa charges $1290 for an adapter plate which the XT has built-in.As for price, personally I was not surprised. I wish US dealers well with this solution. Phase now has a tech camera, more expensive than Alpa and it looks like in many aspects it's a solid solution. If I read correctly, list is 18K for the camera and 32 HR-W with the X shutter. 18K.
XT is still smaller on all three dimensions and weight. Shorter, Svelter, Shallower, Lighter.
Will have final pricing and a product page up on the website in the next week or so. You can reach out to the sales team today ([email protected]) if you want to reserve one of the first batch.HI Doug,
The lens shade looks awesome. I could have used this all summer and I will definitely need it in Australia over the Christmas period.
What's the approximate expected retail on this?
Cheers
Andrew

An STC isn't really a fair comparison, but I think it's the closest comparison to make.
- STC Body
- Adapter Plate
- Sync Adapter
- HPF
- Dovetail
- Hand Grip
- 32HR in eShutter
- Silex (II) Controller
OR
- STC Body
- Adapter Plate
- Sync Adapter
- HPF
- Dovetail
- Hand Grip
- 32HR in Aperture Only
I think you'll find the XT is less expensive than either of these options, while being lighter and providing a significantly easier and more integrated workflow.
Thanks for the question as it made me realize we hadn't updated this section of this article.Hello Doug,
From your article ...
https://phaseonext.com/the-xt-24mm-of-movement-possibilities/
... I have a question about the following statement.
"The XT lenses can be mounted on any Cambo tech camera (and powered / controlled through a cable from the IQ4)."
I understand this so that the new XT lenses on a (old) Cambo WRS 1600 can be mounted and the aperture and the shutter can be controlled directly via a cable from IQ4?
Have I understood that correctly?
That would be a knockout argument for me. Because otherwise I would never have a chance to fully use the image circle of a new XT lens.
With lenses other than native XT lenses the XT behaves much like a "dumb" tech camera. That means no XY shift or lens metadata.The meta data for X / Y Shift in IQ4 are generated by the XT. With a Cambo Plate (without contacts) I would still have to get the Shift X / Y Meta data - because they are generated in the XT. Is that true as I imagine?
thats the canon 24mm t/sComparison of GFX 100 with 23mm to XT with 23mm:
