V system + PhaseOne IQ CCD 80MP Back?

[Dicky]

Just wondering?

How the PhaseOne range of IQ CCD 80MP Digital-Back results - compare to those of the Hasselblad cfv-50/c Digital-Back results, when used on the V system with Carl Zeiss CF range of optics?
Has anyone tried a comparison?

Best wishes

I used P21,P30,P25 and P45 all of those are fantastic at base ISO. Just treat Phase CCD back as if you are exposing Kodachrome or Velvia films. IQ 80 must be better than any of those P series backs. It is more expensive than Hasselblad CFV 50 but I not fond of that hanging battery! There are some owners at GetDpi forum.

If the project "happens" ...

Decided to hire a V-system mount, PhaseOne IQ 80MP CCD for the duration of the shoot, to try it out, be good fun!

Best wishes

I am sure you will love it. Please share some shots if thats OK. Bast luck.

Hi Bashir 
Very interesting to be informed about digital-back hire-demand on the London-scene!

Contacted a London-based digital-back-hire-specialist for a quote!
Was informed that the 50MP CMOS sensor-look is now considered as "tired or passe"

Trichromatic-sensor look is now the "in-thing" and is in hot-demand!- which is only yielded from either PhaseOne Trichromatic 100MP+150MP sensors!
There is still always-demand for the "classic Kodachrome look" too! - which is only yielded at ISO 50 from vintage Kodak 9-micron "fat-pixel" sensors!

Should the project get the "green-light" ...
Be an absolute pleasure to post a link to 80MP CCD ISO 35 image results shot-tethered with our 500 EL/M that are exquisitely lit with our Briese focus.2 115 S-H systems unique light-signature!
Best wishes

Hello Dicky,
I think the drawback with CCD is that those sensors are ISO "limited" opposed to CMOS. I can think of Team-Work and Procentre are providing rental service.
Do they have what you are after? If not they will promote what they have available. But dont let them fool you about CCD look and CMOS look. These days you can achive whatever look in PP

Hello Dicky,
How are you going on with your project? Regards.

Hi Bashir 

Everything with the shot for me has to be perfect, in camera at the moment of exposure - otherwise, I think to myself, so what is the point in doing this?
Post-Production, apart fom taking out dust-spots + adding © overlay, we often dont need to do any, thanks to the "light-signature" of our Briese system.

80MP digital-back is for a still life-studio book project, shot on the V-system. Require V-system CCD mount sensor with lowest available ISO 35.
Dont need the CMOS sensor capabilities for high ISO, especially in the studio environment. Hoping to obtain digital-results that are somewhere in the " Kodak Ektachrome E100S ball-park "
Plan on using our vintage Carl Zeiss CF 120 Makro-Planar lens, which is able to handle mutliple-values-for-black-tones without showing noise!! Wonder if its got something to do with the (now-discontinued) mercury in the coating-process!!

There are several digital-back hire specialists of outstanding professional repute in London.
The one I am dealing with is at the top-of-their-game! They have an amazing collection of rental-backs in stock - its what they do!!

When one, who is in-the-scene, informs me, as a digital-back hire specialist, that clients now consider a look to be "tired or passe" - I will believe them!
Perhaps too many amateurs now shooting with 50MP CMOS look, so its all starting to look too familar.

Many thanks again Bashir for your very kind and much appreciated advice,

Meanwhile back to shooting with Kodachrome results!!
Best Wishes 

Wow! Just wonderful. Thanks for letting us know the insight of technicalities.
Regards.

I have never heard of mercury being used in the coating process. Could you provide a source?

In 2000, the main glass supplier of Carl Zeiss switched to arsenic and lead-free glass. That is the only relevant information that I could think of.
