[edit] Leaf AFi

The Leaf AFi was designed and developed with Jenoptik. The Leaf AFi camera system incorporates Schneider AutoFocus Digital (AFD) lenses, specifically created for use with 30+ megapixel medium format digital camera backs.

Capture is made onto either CF cards or tethered via iEEE1394 (Firewire).

The Leaf AFi camera systems operate in both portrait and landscape orientation without turning the camera, via the rotating back.

The Leaf AFi camera systems have a 6 x 7 cm touch screen, that allows viewing of RAW images at 1:1.
