Phase One launches XT Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 4.0/40mm Tilt for the XT camera

Phase One introduces a new wide angle XT lens XT Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 4.0/40mm Tilt for the XT camera that was specially developed for landscape photography. With its swivel mechanism of plus/minus three degrees, the focal plane can be adjusted to the subject plane so that more depth of field can be gained with a larger focal area. That way, landscape images or photographs of objects are sharp from front to back.

Phase One XT Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 4.0/40mm Tilt

This new XT lens is dedicated to landscape photographers. The tilt construction enables fine control of the plane of focus, maximizes the depth of field, and complements the XT camera’s shift for exceptional image quality and optimized composition control.

Phase One further informed that the XT Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 6.5/138mm lens will also be available with the Phase One X-Shutter. Previously, this specialty lens was not available with a physical shutter. The integration of the “Phase One X” shutter means that Phase One IQ4 owners can control the shutter speed and aperture for that lens directly from their IQ4 digital back.

Phase One also announced that an update to Cascable AB (iOS App) will be available in the coming weeks. The update brings performance improvements and expanded mobile integration specifically for the IQ4. Particular attention has been paid to improving image quality workflows, faster live view frame rates, improved WiFi connectivity, and access to images stored directly on the IQ4. A major workflow improvement allows for viewing of images stored on the IQ4 and selective transfer of images to an iOS device. This new process of memory access saves time and bandwidth for users of the Phase One IQ4 platform.
