I've plateaued somewhat in my paid work (mostly portraiture and lifestyle, but nothing fast-paced). And with the release of mirrorless MF backs like the GFX and X1D I feel like I might be able to enter the space. But there's so so much I don't know. Basically, I just want a reliable single-point AF body for portraits on a Phase One, like the older 645 bodies...But which back to get, and I like wider shots, so I'd definitely want the Schneider 55mm 2.8 (of course, the older one). I saw a Leaf Aptus 65 back locally for $600 from a friend. Seems like I could grab a $600 P1 DF body and a used 55mm Schneider lens and be in business, no? Of course not - please tell me why
I regularly shoot Sonys and Nikons in the 50mm focal length...sometimes 35mm, typically ART lenses. Why am I looking at MF? To slow down...color space. A new experience. Some of my work below
