Leaf announced the start of a pan-European road show to demonstrate a fully functional version of the Leaf AFi - a next-generation, medium-format digital camera aimed at professional photographers. Previewed as a prototype at Photokina, the Leaf AFi is now ready for demonstrations to selected audiences. Specifically designed for high-resolution photography, the Leaf AFi product line is comprised of three models: Leaf AFi 7, Leaf AFi 6 and Leaf AFi 5. The road shows will begin in the UK and travel across Europe to Russia, providing an exciting first-look at a revolutionary medium format digital camera solution that perfectly matches the specific demands of high-resolution digital shooting.

Leaf AFi digital camera
The Leaf AFi provides professional photographers with a 6 x 6 medium-format digital camera solution in a compact design. The Leaf AFi distinguishes itself from competitive offerings by offering high speed, up to 70 images per minute, combined with a very large, ergonomically design screen and body. The result is a camera that combines leading technologies into one intuitive package that is very simple and intuitive to use. The Leaf AFi is flexible, easily adaptable, and fully compatible with the Leaf digital back technology.

Leaf AFi - Schneider AutoFocus Digital lenses
Designed and developed with input from the world’s leading photographers, the Leaf AFi incorporates the latest Schneider AutoFocus Digital (AFD) lenses. These lenses have been specifically created for use with 30+ MP digital camera backs - offering optimal focus while making the best use of high-resolution CCD sensors. Dov Kalinski, General Manager of Leaf comments: “We're very enthusiastic about the positive customer feedback that we've received during beta testing of the Leaf AFi in the market. The road show is an excellent way to offer a closer look at an innovative, high-end digital camera system that addresses the technical requirements of professional photographers, in a robust and easy to use format."

• Changeable viewfinder system (waist level or 90°/prism view)
• Specially designed Schneider-Kreuznach digital lenses for speed and sharp images
• Adjustable control grip provides ergonomically optimal angles for different shooting positions
