I'd love one but its a dream tool unless you are a high end industry professional.

£50k with one lens

Its not realĺy the money that puts me off, more concerned it might be a bit weighty on the selfie stick

 

[retrosi]

Get a hover board (that doesn't hover!) to hold it ;-)

If you could afford one in the first place you could get your man-servant to take your selfies

What size is the sensor? They say 'full size medium format' but I couldn't see any dimensions,

Hire one for special shoots/where your clients demand medium format.

Or buy a real medium format camera for less than the hire cost!

Here is a screen grab Steve.

You can, but if you want a digital workflow you need to invest in decent scanning equipment etc. Proper scanning can get way more than 100mp off medium/large format film but that gear is pricey.

You can go down the development route but many prefer digital processing in PS/LR/CO/Aperature

It has 701mb Tiffs....

Just think of the large prints that look great up close.

Thanks. It's just slightly smaller than 645 format so it can just about get away with the medium format claim.

In the past there have been medium format digital claims for sensors not much bigger than 35mm.

Big sensor that. Are all medium format sensors the same size?

Big jackpot on Saturday so I might have to grab a ticket.

The sensor is 2.5x larger than Nikon FX (and 5.8x larger than DX) 8-O

There are much larger medium format sensors, they average around 6cm x 5-6-7cm.
However, they all have differing resolutions in m-pixels.

Interesting, thanks.

Not just a different league really is it, more a completely different sport.

Medium format film is that size but I'm not sure about digital sensors?

 

[retrosi]

Certainly is, I used film medium format before dslr and the quality is amazing.

I think you're correct Steve, hadn't given it much thought until you said.
I came from MF to Dslr and still have a couple of old film MF bodies.

 

[retrosi]

Hmm if this ever gets funding then I may have a use for my old bodies.

I found this custom made digital back, a 8x10cm only two made at a cost of 6 figures each,
here's the article,

Blimey is all I can say, and how big are those files, ooo what about the fps???

 

[stevelmx5]

No problem, I still shoot Medium and Large Format film, this is my current LF camera;

Not sure I'd be funding the iphone back for the Hasselblad though. Even though you're mounting it to the MF body, you're still only getting an image from the small digital sensor so a slightly misleading headline there ;0)

 

[LongLensPhotography]

I totally want one.

Soros, if you read this and buy one for me I might even shut up for a little while!

 

[wblati]

design looks really clean and 100mp in such a small form factor - nice!

 

[macvisual]

If I win the roll over I'll buy the complete system. I believe Joe Cornish landscape photographer fame shoots 'PhaseOne' cameras.

Initially i didn't think it was that big.......until I saw the iPhone for reference!!!!

Would need a lottery win for this. Big files comes big expense. Would need 4k displays, loads of storage drives and the mother of all computers to keep things running smoothly...
