   What a joke – a surplus stock old technology leaf back matched with a dinosaur camera body. Not a surprise for Phase One

   It could do well as a studio camera if it offers a revolving back, tethering and a competitive price. I’m assuming that the back can be put on a Mamiya DF (AFD) for the occasional off-the-tripod job.

   RZ’s aren’t exciting for “prosumers,” but they’ve got a proven track record of delivering the goods year after year with very little fuss.

     most studios do at one point have one laying around. There is a reason they are made to this day.

   Well, I want one. I’ve been using my old tethered H20 16mp back on my RZ for a while, and I love the output, and ease of use (Capture One). I’ve got a BIG box full of RZ and RB Glass. This would make life so much easier if the price is in the right ballpark.

   Unless they have a back covering more than the 645 surface, what is so special with this ad?

   RZ (and RB) gives a lot used with a full 645 Leaf or Phase One back.

   The next step to attain in order to give more is increasing the surface (54mm x 54mm ? )

   Mamiya RZ./RB lenses cover 70x70mm square. Such sensor would be really something!
