itsPhase One has just unveiled the latest lens for the $57,000 XT camera system. The new XT-Rodenstock HR Digaron W/SW 90mm f/5.6 is the fifth lens for this system, weighing in at $13,000 and built with three priorities in mind: image quality, image quality, and image quality.
In case you missed the announcement last September, the Phase One XT is a tiny medium format field camera system that accepts Phase One’s IQ4 digital backs and a special lineup of XT lenses created by German lens maker Rodenstock. All together, system allows you shoot at up to 150MP of resolution while shifting the sensor up to 24mm in both the X and Y axes. It is, in short, the ultimate (digital) landscape photography camera.
The XT-Rodenstock HR Digaron – W/SW 90mm f/5.6, which was officially announced earlier today, is the latest XT-Rodenstock lens for this camera system, and probably your best option if you want to push the XT system to its imaging limits.
