Have you ever wondered what it would be like to shoot with
the most light-sensitive, 101-megapixel digital system on earth? I gave it a shot to see what all the fuss was
about, and I was not disappointed. The
IQ3 Achromatic creates images dense with painstaking detail, even more than the
naked eye can see.
You might ask yourself why someone would choose a camera
that only shoots in black and white. The Achromatic was built from scratch with its own unique CMOS sensor made without
the Bayer color filter that is on every other color detecting camera
sensor. Without the filter, the sensor
can pick up more unobstructed detail than ever. Ryan from Rentals and I went out to our
backyard to test drive this powerful camera.
Luckily, our backyard includes an iconic, wonderfully detailed, New York
City landmark: the Flatiron Building.
I mentioned before that the camera can capture more than the
human eye can see. That allows endless
creative possibilities for infrared applications. Infrared light exists outside the visible
spectrum, opening a literal unseen world for you to photograph.
For anyone who’s ever wanted to push the limits of detail,
tone, and contrast in their black and white images, I highly recommend the
Phase One IQ3 Achromatic Back.
The Rental Rate for the Achromatic Back is $950 a day, which
includes a set of IR UV CUT Filters for Phase One Lenses. You can reach rentals by calling 212-741-2991.
