IQ1 DIGITAL BACK

The IQ1 100MP Digital Back is designed to exploit the power of the industry's most advanced image sensor design, Phase One said. As a flexible component to be used in a variety of photographic applications, this digital back brings with it:

  • 101 Megapixel Resolution: Full-frame 645 medium format images with a native size of 11,608 x 8,708 pixels
  • ISO 50-12800 with CMOS sensor technology: ISO flexibility and performance alongside video-quality LiveView, for any camera system
  • 16 Bit Color Depth : True 16-bit Raw file capture
  • 15 Stop Dynamic Range: Exposure control and flexibility capturing extreme shadow and highlight detail

BLUE RING LENSES

The two new Blue Ring lenses add a wide-angle and a telephoto to the line manufactured to Phase One's highest standard of optical quality, which the company said is capable of performing well beyond 101-Mp resolution. They include:

  • Schneider Kreuznach 150mm LS f2.8 IF: the fastest Blue Ring telephoto lens with extremely shallow depth of field which is perfect for portrait as well as landscape applications.
  • Schneider Kreuznach 45mm LS f3.5: providing edge-to-edge sharpness in a nearly distortion free wide-angle design, making it ideal for landscape photography as well as interior and architecture applications.

Capture One Pro 9.3, available now for download, is a free update for v9 owners.

The IQ1 100MP Digital Back is shipping this month through Phase One Partners in an XF or H mount for $32,990.
