Well, why not do one and write one?

Sounds like a fun thing to do. I would love to see the review on your CF39MS. I know just the place where to put that review wink.gif

I just got handed a P45+, so I'll let you know my thoughts in a few hours.

I would love to see a Hassy DB review, I've never had the opportunity to work with one. Everything here (NYC) is mainly Leaf and Phase.

I have a 45+ and would love to compare it to my previous non plus back but since the files are not yet supported in Lightroom or ACR 4.1, I can't make a fair comparison. I am limited to C1 for the Plus files, which, at present anyway, is far behind the competition in RAW processing.

On another note, I do know that I was able to put a Hoya R72 infrared filter over my lens with the P45 and get stunning sharp, clear infrared images. With the 45+ doing the same yields dull, muddy infrared and I have to use a stop more exposure to get them....not worth doing. I haven't been able to get anyone, and I mean anyone, at Phase to tell me what the difference in these two backs is that makes IR photography impossible with the plus backs.
