Whether you are a working professional or a weekend hobbyist, the thrill of using truly exquisite gear is unmatched. We all work with what we have while salivating over what we cannot, and no matter how old we get, fancy toys never lose their luster. Do we need them? Probably not. Will we ever purchase them? Not likely. Will we spend hours staring at them? You bet. Nothing is as intoxicating to a photographer as good, outrageously expensive glass.
LargeSense has announced the first commercially available 4x5 digital back: the LS45. It can create true, large-format images in a medium other than film and is designed for the Graflok or International standard, can capture both RAW photos and videos, and costs $26,000.
The LargeSense LS911 is definitely a camera that is not for everyone. It is well-suited to individuals who want to thoroughly explore large format photography or who already have experience working with large format camera systems. Either way, the venture depends on having a large budget.
Phase One Industrial just unveiled a monstrous 280MP aerial camera system that, according to the company, "redefines large format aerial imaging." It's also described as "affordable," weighing in at just $455,000 for the full solution.
Say hello to the world's first full-frame 8x10 large format single-shot digital camera. The Santa Clara, California-based startup company LargeSense has just launched the LS911, a camera that raises the bar for sensor sizes in digital photography.
