Phase One IQ3 100MP Trichromatic

Author Pick:

Phase One is no more odd to high-resolution imaging. Alongside Hasselblad, it's one of the main producers conveying 100MP medium organization camera systems. In any case, its IQ3 100MP Trichromatic ($49,990 with XF body and focal point) goes past extraordinary resolution and a physically bigger picture sensor. It utilizes a more grounded shading channel for more genuine hues, crisper points of interest, and a base ISO 35 affectability to make long introduction photography in sunlight conceivable without managing impartial thickness channels. It costs somewhat more than the standard IQ3 100MP system ($46,990), yet it sets itself facilitate separated from high-resolution 35mm cameras, and acquires Editors' Choice checks in the expert medium organization class. 

Phase One IQ3 100MP Trichromatic

Outline 

Phase One camera systems are particular. You can purchase the IQ3 100MP Trichromatic computerized back without anyone else for $44,490 for Mamiya/Phase One bodies or for Hasselblad H cameras. I looked into it with the Phase One XF, a body in light of the Mamiya focal point mount, a design that is packaged together with a focal point of your decision for $49,990. The $5,000 premium for body and focal point isn't as brutal when you recollect that numerous Phase One focal points offer for more than that all alone. 

The back is a metal solid shape, with a touch screen on the back and four delicate key catches, the picture sensor at front, and a memory card opening as an afterthought. It has its own battery, so it can work with absolutely mechanical cameras. There is a solitary memory card space, with help for CompactFlash (CF), and FireWire-800 and USB 3.0 ports for fastened control utilizing Phase One's Capture One programming suite. Wi-Fi tying, by means of a $14.99 iPad application, is additionally an alternative with the IQ3 back.

Your involvement with working the Trichromatic will contrast in the event that you utilize the back with another camera, yet it is firmly coordinated with the XF, which remains the most in fact propelled medium arrangement body of its write. One of a kind highlights incorporate mechanized concentration alterations for large scale stacking, a seismograph that guarantees there's no shake when making exposures from a tripod, and a touch-touchy control display, none of which are incorporated into the lead demonstrate from Phase One's nearest rival, the Hasselblad H6D. 

The system isn't little. The XF is 5.3 by 6.0 by 6.3 inches (HWD) and 3.1 pounds without anyone else. Connecting the back includes a touch of profundity and another 1.5 pounds. When you include a focal point, even a light one like the 1.1-pound 80mm LS f/2.8, you're taking a gander at near six pounds of camera in your grasp. While I'd never say that you can't handhold the XF system, its plan loans itself well to use with a tripod. 

In any case, it is anything but a camera body that fits quick moving subjects. Self-adjust can take about a quarter-second to bolt on, and the constant shooting rate is only a pitiful 2.1fps. Activity photography is dealt with better by lighter systems with littler picture sensors and speedy, further developed self-adjust systems. Medium arrangement loans itself great to scene and large scale applications, and in addition likeness. The XF body utilizes the focal region of the casing for self-adjust, yet supports a recompose mode that alters the concentration moment that shooting pictures, outline your model right on target to set concentration and move the camera to form your shot. The XF modifies the plane of center as expected to guarantee your subject remains freshly engaged. (The Hasselblad H6D-50c does this too.)

The XF doesn't have the same number of on-body controls as some full-outline SLRs, yet it gives you all that you have to modify presentation. There are three committed control wheels, changing gap, ISO, and screen speed and in addition programmable back and front catches, the previous of which is valuable in the event that you need to isolate self-adjust work from the two-organize shade discharge. Catches and dials are supplemented by touch-based menus, both on the XF's best display and on the IQ3's 3.2-inch touch LCD. 

In spite of an extreme, metal form, the XF isn't an all-climate camera. You'll need to secure it in case you're shooting in blanketed, stormy, or generally severe conditions. There are medium arrangement choices with more hearty climate assurance, including the Fujifilm GFX 50S and the Pentax 645Z, however both utilize sensors that are physically littler and "just" 50MP in resolution. We've yet to see a full-organize 645 picture sensor at the lower end of the medium configuration value range. 

The XF ships with an eye-level viewfinder, which brings a major, brilliant optical viewfinder to your eye. The viewfinder likewise incorporates a hot shoe, it can deal with an on-camera streak or a remote trigger for off-camera lighting and a PC synchronize attachment. However, in the event that you utilize Profoto lighting you won't have to include a trigger or associate by means of a link, as the XF body has a remote controller for Profoto strobes worked in. This is particularly convenient on the off chance that you select to swap out the eye-level discoverer for a collapsing midriff level viewfinder, which is an alternative.

A Phase One system accompanies something beyond the body, camera, and focal point. For your cash you likewise kick it into high gear Pelican hard case, measured for go ahead, two arrangements of batteries, information exchange links, a memory card and USB card peruser, adjustment and cleaning units, and a Capture One programming permit. The system is secured by a five-year guarantee, which incorporates access to hardware credits if your camera should be adjusted.

Trichromatic Sensor

Phase One makes various medium configuration backs, extending from the 50MP IQ1 ($16,990) completely through the 100MP, high contrast IQ3 Achromatic ($49,990). We investigated the IQ3 100MP out of 2016, it's as yet accessible and offering for $41,990 as a back just, or $46,990 in a unit. What's more, for those on a stricter spending plan, you can likewise get the standard rendition of the sensor in an IQ1 body beginning at $30,990 for the back as it were. In any case, know the IQ1 drops various highlights, including live view catch, Wi-Fi, and the tight incorporation and power imparting to the XF body. What's more, to additionally convolute your decisions, precisely the same can be purchased from Hasselblad as the H6D-100c ($32,995).

Yet, while the H6D-100c, IQ1, and IQ3 100MP sensors coordinate the Trichromatic in resolution and sensor measure, they aren't the same. The Trichromatic is a specially craft as a team with the sensor producer, Sony, and it's selective to Phase One. Like other Phase One demonstrates, the back just shoots in a 16-bit Raw arrangement, you won't get JPGs out of this camera. 

It imparts the underlying foundations of its outline to the IQ3 100MP sensor, yet an alternate shading channel exhibit. It's as yet a Bayer course of action, however the channel is somewhat more grounded than you find on generally cameras. This implies light-social event is cut a bit, the Trichromatic has a base ISO 35 affectability while the vanilla IQ3 100MP is ISO 50 at its least. This isn't a ghastly thing in the realm of medium configuration photography, scene photographers will particularly appreciate the additional 66% stop control at the low end of the range as it makes longer sunshine exposures conceivable, without adding impartial thickness over the focal point. I could catch the scene beneath with a 0.3-second presentation at f/22 keeping in mind the end goal to get the smooth waterfall look without having a channel close by.

Since the channel is more grounded, false shading is less of an issue, the wavelengths that the sensor gets at every red, green, or blue photosite are more restricted. Red pixels don't get a considerable measure of non-red data, and keeping in mind that there's still introduction required to fill in shading that a specific photosite doesn't catch, the information the camera is working with is more clean. 

This outcomes in mages with shading that is more genuine to life, without making changes to directs in Capture One, and with more grounded general detail. Obviously, on the off chance that you need a more aesthetic, dreamlike interpretation of the world, you can in any case alter to your heart's substance. You're simply beginning from a superior place than you would with a standard picture sensor. The shading channel additionally cuts approaching bright light more forcefully, and completes a strong activity decreasing purple shading bordering, an impact frequently found in high difference regions of photographs. 

Phase One IQ3 100MP Trichromatic

Is it a progressive distinction? Not in any manner. Be that as it may, it's obvious when seeing scenes shot with the Trichromatic versus the IQ3 100MP. I positively wouldn't exhort photographers who as of now claim an IQ3 100MP to overhaul (unless Phase One gives you an extraordinary arrangement on an exchange), however in the event that you've been reflecting on a redesign from a more established system, the Trichromatic is luring. 

The preferences are not one-sided. Phase One claims that there's no inconvenience in chroma clamor with the Trichromatic, however it displays more luminance commotion, which is much the same as film grain. Imatest demonstrates that the Trichromatic has somewhat higher clamor levels at indistinguishable ISO settings when contrasted and the IQ3 100MP. At bring down affectability the distinction isn't awesome, both show around 1.7 percent at ISO 200 and 2.4 percent at ISO 400, for instance. In any case, as you advance toward the higher end of the range, the distinction increments. At ISO 6400 the Trichromatic shows 6.3 percent, versus 5.4 percent for the IQ3 100MP, and at the best ISO 12800 setting the Trichromatic hits 8.5 percent, a major bounce when contrasted and the standard 100MP's 6.9 percent.

In case you're not pushing the ISO high it's very little to stress over. There's a lot of resolution, so you shouldn't be panicked by a higher Imatest result, and Capture One has clamor decrease apparatuses, our lab tests are finished with the default measure of shading commotion lessening connected, yet with no luminance clamor diminishment. To my eye, picture quality is brilliant through ISO 400. There's some slight unpleasantness at ISO 800 and 1600, however it's not diverting. It's not until the point that you push to ISO 3200 and past that graininess really affects pictures. All things considered, in the event that you frequently push your rigging to its ISO limits, the IQ3 100MP is most likely a superior fit. Yet, for photographers working at the lower end of affectability the range, the Trichromatic conveys better outcomes. 

Conclusions 

Phase One takes into account the most elevated end of the photographic market, and keeping in mind that the Trichromatic isn't its most costly back (the highly contrasting Achromaticcosts more), it is the most premium shading alternative accessible. It forfeits some high ISO capacity for points of interest in shading constancy and fine detail, yet the exchange bodes well for a system that fits use for studio and scene work.

While the organization offers a few systems under $20,000, it hasn't yet endeavored to contend in the low end of the medium arrangement advertise as brands like Fujifilm, Hasselblad, and Pentax have. In case you're occupied with shooting with a sensor bigger than 35mm film, however don't have a Phase One spending plan, our most loved minimal effort display is the 50MP Fujifilm GFX 50S. It doesn't pack as much resolution, and its sensor is around 66% the extent of the Trichromatic. 

In case you're spending plan is adequate, however not exactly $50,000 sufficient, and you need a full-arrange 645 sensor with 100MP resolution, consider the IQ1 100MP. It's accessible with the XF body and 80mm focal point for $35,990. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you need the most elevated of all the top of the line equip, there isn't a substitute for the Phase One Trichromatic. It delivers the most pixels and the finest image quality we've seen in a medium format system, and earns our Editors' Choice.
