What's in my bag?

Photography is a time honored art form. One of the most compelling reasons to choose medium format would be the sheer number of megapixels, but this is only the start of the benefits. The beauty of medium format lays in having more time to dive into your composition to find that perfect frame. Light, depth of field and colors become more expressive than with any other system.

Besides that our medium format cameras offer a customizable and flexible workflow, which is essential for a result-oriented client shoot. Besides that we have developed an extensive tool set, fully digitally integrated in the camera, such as tethered shooting and robust focusing tools. At the end it comes down to delivering the best results for your client and for that your equipment should not fell far from being the best and most reliable.
