[Leica] All you Haasy shooters...

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Yes.
The P35+ is has what you need for field shooting, but a small sensor size.
The P45+ has a 1.1 crop factor (on the long side).

You don't shoot square with these; you crop square.

My Leaf Aptus 22 has the same size sensor as the P45+, two generations back. 
The 
only real downside to it is that it maxes out at 30sec exposure, so no dark 
shooting.
Cost used: $3,500.
Satisfaction with output: priceless...

Leaf seems to be a bit better IMO for field shooting. The new ones rotate 
internally to go from landscape to portrait (the price of the rotating and 
non-rotating are now equal). The output detail is truly mind boggling. The 
dynamic range is, in practice, 10 stops. The back's display is much larger 
and 
more detailed than Phase. Phase requires an intricate (and not cheap) set of 
wires to shoot from the flash synch (which you do from HVs and LF).

So Leaf is my choice. I could get a new 12 for $21k with trade in of my 22 
and 
my remaining Leica lenses, but that doesn't include the cost of divorce. 

So I'll keep shooting film and the 22 back.
Poor me ;-)

Okay. Thanks. I assume you're referring to the PhaseOne P30.
That'll have no preview on the screen; and I believe no card either.
A fine tethered, studio or complex location set up though.
