When I first started university in September, one of my first lectures was on what was available to use in our photography store. There was everything you would expect from cameras to little tiny hot shoe adapters.
One thing caught my eye when I was read out the list of equipment. It was a phase one digital back. This has been the one thing I've been fascinated about when I first heard about this technology in college. Having the ability to turn a film camera, in this case it was a mamiya rz67, into a digital camera that you can have the shots instantly and still retaining the quality of the film lenses you have to offer.
As soon as our lecture was finished in our studios, I asked our technicians Alan and Christian to let me have a quick go of the system. They showed me how to connect the camera into capture one software and things I needed to remember about powering the digital back.
I asked my friend to stand In so I could take some photos on the system. I wanted to see what the depth of field was like. Even at f4 the depth of field was like f2 on a 35mm body. The bokeh was so soft. When I zoomed in the detail In the images was the best I have ever seen and still the best to this day.
