Great episode! No question that this is the best combo (by a substantial margin!) for this kind of work. Also, taking recent episodes into account, and for those on a tight budget - some impressive results are obtainable with the Cambo WRS + the 50 Megapixel Hasselblad back from the 907X. Scaling to >= 140 MP can happen in software. The money saved could fund a few trips to those places whose beauty warrants this type of attention to detail 🙂 In all cases this was a wonderful demo of what these systems can deliver!

Thank you very much, Manson. The Cambos are highly capable view cameras which can be combined with various cameras like the Hasselblad X2D, the Fuji GFX cameras and even the Leica SL2. I actually have them in the studio, maybe in the course of the year I will post a comprehensive video about the Cambo.

What makes the Alpa so cool is the quick grid-locked horizontal shift mechanism. Its just so easy and a pleasure to work with it. Clearly on the XT body you get more features and also communication between lenses and IQ4, spot-on comment.

Superb video! Amazing results with this setup. I notice Alpa makes an adapter for the Fujifilm GFX. I appreciate the Fuji is missing some of the advantages of the IQ4 back but I guess this could still produce great results?! I’m wondering if a GFX100S with its handgrip will fit and still allow full shift movement though…?

I have always admired the Alpa cameras! In reference to the IQ4, can you please clarify what the "Frame Averaging" does. I either missed it along the way, or didn't see where there was a discussion on what it actually does. So it looks like it takes multiple images and then does something with them. But what? Thanks. FWIW - I have used Hasselblads for over 50 years, currently using the X2D. Since there are virtually no Shift lenses available, I do utilize the nodal points of my XCD lenses for pano-stitching, with better-than-average results. But, unfortunately, I still lose quite a lot of pixels in the stitching. Thanks again for a great, informative video.

at 2:56 you should FIRST shutdown the back, as is apparent there is NO baffells between the lens and the sensor, so if charged up, the sensor will attract dust!, so probabbly best to shutdown this and cap the sensor surface first, it is ~$15,000 AUD after all, and the less you expose the sensor to the cleaning solutions the longer it will last.

Great video! Looks like the hyperfocal distance was 15.54m - did you set that on the lens or did you focus on an object at that approximate distance in the scene? Also, do you recall what length you set frame averaging to? I am always trying to decide how long to set it. I am using the Cambo 1600 tech cam - love how it switches from horizontal to vertical in a few seconds, plus it fits in my Compagnon Element backpack and can easily be taken in and out through the side access panel with the back and lens on it....

you also forgot one thing, as the IQ4 is NOT on an XT or XF body, you need to change the shutter behaviour, aka latency setting in the menu, this says how the shutter behaves, does it wait for a signal from a lens?, or do you have a 'double tap' cable, aka one with a 'wake-up' button included which gives you 5-15 sec. to press the shutter, or the button on the back, or the back button alone. plenty of options, BUT one warning, like the H system hasselblads, you MUST connect the flash x sync cable to the BACK, NOT the pc port on the lens!, as it is the 'digital' shutter you are using, not the leaf shutter in the lens!! this applies to all backs, when used on a 'technical camera' like the linhof technika, Alpha, or other make LF camera system, as this digital shutter is used with these too.

Oooops - that's a tough question. For a war photography job the camera needs to be robust, quick in autofocus, reliable in battery life and with good image and video quality. My choice would likely be the Leica SL2-S with just one lens, the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90 f/2.8-4 ASPH. I have the SL2-S in the "Reporter" version which is in particular known to be especially robust and reliable, see here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lIqrx5avoJt-hmU

Correct - there is no exclusivity here. It just matches my workflow in panorama photography very well, its a pleasure to shoot with and the IQ4 clearly is the best digital camera sensor in the world.

Agree with John, you can use film of course, see here: www.alpa.swiss/pages/faq#general When you scroll down you find the following text: "Currently, film backs are available for the formats 6x9 and 6x7. ALPA/Linhof film cassettes can only use type 120 film. ALPA also offers adapters for Mamiya RB and Horseman. These adapters allow using the backs of the Mamiya RB (6x4.5 to 6x8) on the ALPA. We recommend the motorized versions for its higher precision and the ability to use 120 and 220 type of rollfilm. These backs and film cassettes from Horseman (Arca) are mostly available on the second-hand market."
