Leaf AFi-II

Featuring the world’s rst 56mm medium-format
digital camera system

The all new Leaf AFi-II camera system is the
innovative 6x6 digital camera system that
has the power and flexibility to capture your
imagination.

Integrating the best materials and technology, the Leaf AFi-II delivers a
unique experience in digital photography: Best-of-class German lenses;
easy-to-use controls on a rugged, ergonomically designed body housing
some of the industry’s most revolutionary features; the widest, most
versatile sensor in it’s class, bright LCD touch screen that tilts up to 90º for
easy viewing and integrated Leaf Capture workflow software.
All these elements were designed together to make the Leaf AFi-II the most
advanced digital medium-format digital camera system in the world.

Large Sensor: True Wide Frame

At 56mm, the True Wide Frame sensor in the Leaf AFi-II 10 is the world’s
widest medium-format sensor, including an unsurpassed dynamic range
and brilliant 16-bit color files up to 345MB.

Internal Sensor Rotation: Verto

Change from landscape to portrait orientation with a turn of the Leaf Verto
internal sensor rotation dial. Keep your eye on your subject while the icons
in the viewfinder change orientation as the hermetically sealed sensor locks
in place.

Tilting LCD Touch Screen

The Leaf AFi-II LCD image display and touch screen controls are even
more accessible now with up to 90º adjustable tilt. Change the angle of
the display to easily adjust settings and perform file management tasks.

Best-of-class German Optics

Part of the Leaf AFi-II integrated system design includes high-resolution,
German-built PQ and PQS autofocus and manual focus lenses.
Best-of-class optics by Zeiss and Schneider include a range of lenses with
Rollei-developed Direct Drive technology, microcomputer-controlled,
motor-driven diaphragms with hand-stamped, ultra-thin carbon fiber leaf
shutters that deliver fast flash synchronization up to 1/1000 second.

Three Viewfinder Options

Reposition the viewfinder to make any shoot comfortable: use the 90°, 45°
and waist level viewfinders and forget about tripod adjustments.
The 45° and 90° viewfinders can be mounted perpendicular to the lens
in both directions. All viewfinders enable full functionality, including built­in light metering and information display. The bright, internal viewfinder
screen offers a full display of the camera’s essential settings.

Shoot Your Maximum, Shoot Fast – Without Compromising
Image Quality

The Leaf AFi-II takes advantage of the latest in CompactFlash card technology,
writing to the memory card using UDMA speeds. RAW images can be saved
as lossless compressed files, enabling you to shoot nearly twice the number
of photos per CF card. When tethered, the camera sends images directly to
the computer via an ultra-fast FireWire 800 connection.

View Camera Compatibility

The Leaf AFi-II imaging module digital camera compatible with over 80
large and medium format cameras.

Sensor Flexibility: SensorFlex

With Leaf SensorFlex technology you can crop on the fly to standard pre-set
formats before you shoot to get the dimensions, file size and transfer rates
that are best suited to your work.

Ease of Use

From full automatic to fine control and advanced features, easy-to-use
controls enable quick changes and verification of settings. Within minutes
of picking up the Leaf AFi-II, you’ll be up and shooting.
