Re: New Leica S system 30x45mm
If you are looking at new systems larger than the 35mmDSLR\'s, and desire AF, you have as follows:
*FujiBlads
*Mamiya (Z & 645 systems, and the re-badged PhaseOne counterpart)
*Rollie (and its re-badged counterparts- Leaf & PhaseOne)
*Sinar m.
Lots of rancour over the Fujiblad\'s. Slow AF, lenses sort of okay, closed platform regarding the digital back, etc, etc.
Regarding Rollie, in the US, it is difficult to find and get quick support for the lenses making it a risky choice for a working pro.
Sinar m is an ergonomic nightmare, priced into oblivion, the Hum-Vee of cameras.
That leaves just the Mamiya systems. Leica most likely that as an opening for a larger than 35mmDSLR platform with excellent German optics.
