Leaf Imaging  announced the Leaf Aptus-II 5 medium format digital camera back. The Leaf Aptus-II series of digital backs offers professional photographers the speed, image quality and flexibility to allow their work to keep pace with their imaginations. Designed to support photographers wherever they are shooting, Leaf Aptus-II series backs offer the largest display, 3.5� (6×7 cm), and only touch screen controls in the medium format market.
Leaf has set pricing for the Aptus-II 5 at $7995 and is offering the Phase One 645 AF with an 80mm lens for an additional $2000. This gives prospective studio photographers a shot at digital medium format for under $10,000. While this is more than any DSLR system, it’s entry-level as far as medium format is concerned.
