“Our key objective is to help the worldÂ’s best photographers capture more epic images, to stand out as artists and have fun in the process,â€Â” said Henrik O. HÃ¥konsson, President, Phase One. ““Our new XF Camera System is designed to be like a ‘StradivariusÂ’ in the hands of an expert.”â€
Phase One’s XF Camera System’s advancements include a new patent pending and fully controlled in-house autofocus system called the Honeybee Autofocus Platform (HAP-1), a new upgradeable ‘OneTouch’ user interface, allowing photographers to personalize camera controls for their specific shooting requirement.
XF Camera System also includes –a new full frame 80 megapixel digital back; the first of its kind, the company claims, to offer exposures of up to 60 minutes using a new imaging sensor. Two new lenses –  at 120mm and 35mm – are also included, and both designed to resolve beyond 100 megapixels. The new camera range also herald a new 90 degree, full frame, solid glass prism viewfinder.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
