Phase One XF - What’s New

Medium format is the buzz word these days. It wasn’t long ago when many were saying medium format was dead. Funny how things change. Phase One with the release of the XF camera got a lot of attention. It is one of the best and finest cameras I have ever used. Just about all the media and content providers also agree. The XF with its features set the bar high for others.
There are some new entries into the medium format market. It’s interesting to read and hear the comments from new users as well as reviewers on their surprise regarding image quality with the 50 MP sensors. Now imagine doubling that resolution and think of the image quality that can be achieved. As I wrote in my earlier reviews of the XF, the only way to really appreciate the image quality is to make a print where the image can truly be evaluated. I found with the XF that even the resolution of the best monitors can’t reveal the true detail of what the XF 100MP file printed at 300 ppi or 360 ppi can.

Over the last yea...
