![]() ![]() after I contacted Yair at Phase One, it appears the seller "jbmpsales" removed all of his Leaf products. It's interesting to note that the datasheet lists this one as a “NIR Cutoff Filter.” **Ulf (Phase One) via Phase One Forum said: “We would recommend Schott S8612 which has a cut off at 650nm.” This is the type of glass found in the eBay auction that DPI user Dim suggested, earlier in this thread. **Yair (Phase One) via email said: “your best chance of getting the colour right is to buy a Schott BG39 filter that’ll go on your lens.” You are right that the colors may be way off, but am I wrong in thinking you can use the eye-dropper and color correct the raw image? I'll paste below what the two main Phase One guys had to say: I've shot a lot on mirrorless, so I'm familiar with the delicate nature of cleaning a sensor- let's hope for this best on this I will keep you posted regarding my findings (if the back works and I'm even able to test). In the pictures, the sensor looks scratch free. All other specs remain the That's a very valid thing to be worried about. 1.0mm would be what we would use on a 80mp sensor."Įdited this post to add: does anyone know if the DM 80 is the same as the Aputus-II 12? The DM ISO is listed as 50-800, while the Aptus-II 12 is listed as 80-800. Here's what they had told me: "We would recommend Schott S8612 which has a cut off at 650nm just like you say. I actually went with a Chinese seller for three reasons: 1) cheaper 2) I can cut the 70x70 shape to the exact shape I need 3) the "nm cutoff" matched the specs provided by Phase One. Thanks for the auction number for the IR glass. Hopefully between the two of us, we can collaborate to come away with a working back! Did you buy a second glass frame? I might 3d print one or simple rig the class in there (if the digital back works that is). My digital back is definitely missing the IR glass and frame, but I can't tell if it is missing anything internal since the auction images show all of the little doors closed. The seller "jbmpsales" is located in a city about one hour north of Leaf's headquarters in Israel, so it's possible that this seller purchased a bundle of parts and it's very possible that none of them work upon arrival. I had typed a long reply to this thread but it appears to have not been posted Here goes again. I hope you and I can collaborate to at least come away with one working back! so I cannot tell what internal parts are still there. I tried looking at the pics of my item and sure enough, none of the doors are open. 1.0mm would be what we would use on a 80mp sensor." So we're both on the correct path there! Did you buy a frame for the glass? I will likely do a 3d print or just rig something to hold the glass in place (once I find out if the digital back works). Here is what Phase One told me about the IR glass: "We would recommend Schott S8612 which has a cut off at 650nm just like you say. I actually considered that very item! But then I went with a chinese seller for three reasons: 1) cheaper 2) I can cut it to the perfect size myself 3) the nm cut off matched the specs provided by Phase One. Thanks for the glass item number suggestion. If that's the case, I think it's likely all of his digital backs are in non-working condition. ![]() It's possible that this seller purchased a lot directly from them, for resale. "jbmpsales" is located in Kiryat Motzkin, Isreal, which is about an hour north of Kfar Saba, the Leaf Headquarters. My digital back should arrive by early March. Here's a picture of my unit (top) along with a working unit (bottom).Ĭlick to expand.Hi Dim, nice to meet you! Sounds like we'll be a very helpful resource for each other. But I'd like to have what I need to test it upon arrival. Will the variation in 0.3mm be enough to throw off the focal plane distance?īTW, the DM80 won't arrive in the mail until mid-February or early-March. I will likely buy a 70x70mm or 80x80mm piece, then cut it down to fit on the DB, then make my own frame to screw it/hold it in place. I have a Valeo 22wi at home that I can measure later, but I wanted to see if anyone has a DM80 and/or experience in this field. I know that I need 650nm cutoff, and can buy a custom cut piece online that is close to size, but does anyone know the thickness? I have two apparent options: 1mm or 1.3mm. I can tell from the pictures that it is missing the IR glass. ![]() I purchased an "as is" Leaf Aptus-II 12 (DM 80) from eBay. Like a rich, stupid person with a lot of free time (I'm none of the above actually). ![]()
