Leaf has announced an entirely new family of medium format cameras and camera backs for professional photographers. In addition to offering remarkable image quality with up to 56 megapixel resolution, the new line-up delivers many new features. These include a 56 millimeter wide ‘True Wide Frame’ sensor, Leaf Verto internal sensor rotation for easily changing orientation and Leaf SensorFlex technology which lets photographers pre-select image size and capture speed. One interesting feature of the new range is the Leaf Capture Remote for iPhone app which turns wireless devices, such as the iPhone or iPod Touch, into remote image viewers. While you are shooting tethered using Leaf Capture software, a client or creative director can view images from any Wi-Fi network.

The new line-up totals six new products: the Leaf AFi-II 6, 7 and 10 digital camera systems and the Leaf Aptus-II 6, 7 and 10 digital camera backs. The new products will be showcased at Photokina 2008 in Cologne between 23 and 28 September.

Image quality, flexibility and ease of use

The new product line from Leaf is characterized by new features and advances in image quality, flexibility, ease of use and workflow efficiency that are a direct result of Leaf’s long-term relationships with professional photographers around the world.

“By working closely with professional photographers and digital technicians in their studios and on location, Leaf has been able to deliver solutions that make their work easier, faster and more efficient,” said Dov Kalinski, general manager of Leaf. “We’ve put a lot of thought and a lot of new technology into the Leaf AFi-II and Leaf Aptus-II lines and Leaf photographers are very enthusiastic about the new features that they’ve requested.”

True Wide Frame sensor

Leaf has developed the exclusive new 56x36 millimeter, 56 megapixel True Wide Frame sensor in cooperation with DALSA Corporation, who specialize in digital imaging components. As the world’s widest medium format sensor and the first to provide a 56mm wide capture area, it is designed to fit perfectly into the 6x6 frame of the Leaf AFi-II 10 camera. The same 56mm wide True Wide Frame sensor is also available in the Leaf Aptus-II 10 camera back.
