Quote from: RobPerry -Has anyone seen or used this combination? I am particularly excited about (near) full frame 645 digital backs (so in my fantasy a Leaf Aptus II 10 would be the back of choice), and stubbornly retain my fairly extensive ETRSi kit although I have stopped using it in favour of my RB67 for film and Nikon D70/D200/Sony a900 for digital. However, if I understand it correctly, you will still have to use a Flashsync cable to synchronise your shutter with the back, meaning a flashsync cable. However if you were buying a new Aptus II, looks like you will be able to request an ETRSi mount. However, most Aptus and Aptus S backs will now be available only used or ex-demo, and the availability of a mount change for older backs is not known. Is this correct?Ĭorrect, the Leaf Aptus, Aptus S and Aptus II backs now are available for the ETRSi and SQ-Ai bodies, as well as a few models of Sinar eMotion backs. there are many ways to mount a digital back on a ETRSi, but only the Leaf Aptus II offers a direct attachment to the camera.

But in the realm of adapter plates for medium format and large format cameras, it seems par for the course, really. ![]() but when I ordered mine, there was a 3 week lead time on my adapter, which makes me wonder if they might sometimes manufacture it on demand, unless they still have stock to get rid of. Sure I guess if you could convince a whole bunch of Bronica owners to go digital with their Bronicas. In fact, if you're thing is wide angles, then eventho the Leaf Aptus-II 10 provides lower 645 frame area coverage, it does provide a slightly wider capture. Leaf Aptus-II 10: 56mm x 36mm (so you lose a little at the top and bottom of the frame) - 85.7% of 645 Olympian, aside from the cost of these backs at the moment, the newest sensors in digital backs from PhaseOne (P65+) and the Leaf Aptus-II 10 - it would seem that the wait is over and these sensors come very very close to filling the whole 645 frame, although the pedantic among us will point out that they are still missing a few millimeters here and there. I look forward to participating in future forum discussions. and with an ever increasing complement of spare parts I don't think so! No, Olympian is a reference to my loyalty to the Olympus E-System (Four Thirds format). Incidentally, 'Olympian' is not an indication of physical stature - at 60 y.o. ![]() I wonder if perhaps we might do better with a bulk order? I also fear that Kapture and Silvestri might forget about us Bronica types if we leave it too long - what do others think? I think I'll wait until we have a sensor closer to the film dimensions as I really need my wide angle capability for architectural work, also until I have a lot more money than I do at the moment! Speaking of $$$ I can't get over the price of those adapters. I love the system and nothing would part me from it but I certainly would be interested in a digital back for it at some stage. I have a Bronica ETRS and a brand new virginal ETRSi + a tremendous battery of ETRS lenses. Quote from: Olympian - This discussion is most interesting.
