Imacon back and flexcolor software
- Thread starter uss
- Start date
Hi Robert,
It is refered as "H1 Owners Loyalty Promotion" for people who purchased H1 prior to October 1, 2004
(1). H1D MSRP 21,995, Promo for 19,995.
(2). 132C 22mp Back MSRP 24,845, Promo 20,495.
(3). H1&132C Ixpress combo MSRP 26,995, Promo 24,995.
I looked at their Flexcolor software and my initial reaction is that it is real good. Better than Phase One's. Easier to use and really one does not have to use Photoshop at all. Layer management is better than Phase One's Software. Very user friendly.

> I have the H1 and have been thinking about buying the imacon back. I have an Imacon scanner and use the flextouch software which is good but I would like more options for my scans. Perhaps the software version of the flextouch for the H1D is more detailed. For ex&le I cannot find a simple way to be able to scan with the highest optical resolution of my scanner. The only way to get to that number is by putting in the size of the image on output, basically trial and error. It's not ideal. And who is selling the H1D for Imacon. Anyone in NYC? And what about the new Leaf back which is available in February. Does anyone have information on it?] Thanks, Lori
Hi Lori,
Purchasing of H1D &/or Imacon, you are better off approaching Imacon rep, who are ingulfed by Hasselblad, then Hassey rep, who may not be that familiar with Imacon brand. Imacon-USA reps are reached thru' 800-367-6434. Chicago or midwest rep is Gina Connor. Don't know who handles NY market. EBay has one for min. bid of $9,900(reserve), but one has to spend $2000. to update to LCD screen as this one has no preview plus $850.+ for H1 adopter plate. Might want to buy a new one for that money. RE; For Scanner resolution you might want to ask Imacon Rep, they may a have shortcut suggestions.
The new Leaf back "Aptus" is going for $19k for 17MP & $30k for 22MP @ Calumet. I have not seen any reviews other than PR. Big touchscreen in the back,..nice, but what happens in the field with extreme temps? I think everybody is using Kodak's senser, so quality can't be that far off.
Have you tried the tutorials on web, may be they are too basic for you, but sometimes they do allow us to think in another informed way, try;... http://www.photoworkshop.com/registered/pages/digital_img03.html
Keep us informed of what you decide.
Thanks Shawn

One more thing,
Imacon senser size is for 16MPixel 36.9 cms square and for 22MPixel it is 36.7cms x 49.cms.
Aptus/Creo/Leaf Senser for Aptus 17: 43.2 x 31.7 mm, Leaf Aptus 22: 48 x 36 mm So in Imacon 16MP-96c model you shoot in square format while Aptus maintains rectangular format. Imacon 22MP back has slightly bigger senser, so a little less loss of picture. I think it is more personal preference.

Hi Nick, can you please post the link into your Imacon forum. I'm looking at getting an Imacon or Phase one back. In australia the 16mp Imacon is $10,000 cheaper than the 16mp Phase One !
