Final update... Before I post the photos, a few news and considerations: (1) it took me 2 months but finally I have managed to sell the P65+... at a much discounted price :-(

It hasn't happened frequently to me but for sure it has. Especially at work for some reasons. I recall distinctly a colleague thanking e and my "magic camera" after I shared photos of a company ...

In UK and US you get different tiers of agencies... from top household name ones to semi-fake Facebook ones and the quality of the models you get from them usually matches the quality of the agency. ...

That's excessive... I have done fashion photography in London and NYC and between models represented by top agencies and wannabe's that do not fit the brief there is a lot of low- to mid-tier ...

I've had the "great photos you must have a great camera" thrown at me a few times, but never the model variation you mention :-) I've actually experienced the opposite issue a few times: people ...

thank you :-)

While I do not have numbers (I bin all the technically failed images, including OOF ones), I can say that MF DSLR-type bodies are quite hit and miss with critical focus. My first shoot with my MF ...

Thank you!

Thank you!

Interesting, thank you!

Not to worry, there are not many sales reps left for this stuff....

Hey Rick, to be honest, apart from this very forum I haven't found much. Luminous Landscape and Fred Miranda both have forums with occasional MF discussion. Most places where MF discussions happen ...

H4X bodies can be found between 1K and 2K on eBay. I could not find H5D body-only on sale. It may be that the back on sale is fine but perhaps it's original body had issues or it has been sold ...

Interesting question... I have gone this route myself, albeit I went for an H-fit PhaseOne P65+ back mated to a H4X initially, later updated to a PhaseOne H-fit IQ180 & H5X. They are both CCD backs ...
