New Leaf Aptus 65 Digital Camera Back Delivers Uncompromised Image Quality to Graphic Communications Providers
Leaf announced the launch of the Leaf Aptus 65 digital camera back, which makes the quality, speed, and flexibility of high-end digital photography available at an exceptional value.
The newest addition to the Leaf digital camera family, the Leaf Aptus 65 camera back delivers film-like quality on location or in studio. Its 28-MP sensor captures lush color, fine detail, rich highlights and deep shadows, all in a high dynamic range. With a full frame CCD containing 6,144 x 4,622 pixels customers are able to capture a pure 16 bit RAW file in only 53mb (31mb using lossless compression) in size. This becomes an 80MB file when processed to an 8 bit tiff. The Leaf Aptus 65 also features an extended ISO range from 50 – 800.
The digital power used by the world’s top photographers is now available for the graphic communications industry with the Leaf camera back,” said Dov Kalinski, General Manager, Leaf, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group (GCG). “The Leaf Aptus 65 camera back is so flexible and easy to use that you can focus your attention and creativity on the image, and because it’s a Leaf camera back, you’re assured the highest level of image quality and consistent, accurate color reproduction.”

With a broad range of storage options, including the 30-GB Leaf digital magazine and CF cards, users have the flexibility to shoot wherever they want for as long as they want.
“Photographers around the world trust Leaf camera backs to provide unsurpassed levels of quality and consistent color capture,” continued Mr. Kalinski. “The new Leaf Aptus 65 continues this tradition of excellence.”
