Announced on Digital Transitions<\/a>, the new A-series from Phase One is described as a ‘new system using Phase One Digital Backs, Rodenstock optics, and ALPA bodies.’<\/p>\n

Though details are thin on the ground, it appears that the range comprises three models \u2013 the A250, A260 and A280. The A250 features a CMOS sensor, the others feature CCD sensors.<\/p>\n

Unusually for medium format, the cameras are mirrorless and therefore do not feature an optical viewfinder.<\/p>\n

Instead pictures are viewed either on the Live View screen or via a smartphone, which it appears can be mounted on top.<\/p>\n

\"a-series-250\"<\/a>According to Digital Transitions, a hands-on preview of the A-series will soon be available, for which you can request access at their site.<\/p>\n

There is no word on pricing yet, but given the respective costs of Phase One digital backs and Alpa bodies, the new system is unlikely to come cheap.<\/p>\n

Phase One is yet to issue a formal release on these new cameras, and has not yet responded to AP’s request for comment.<\/p>\n
