13.0 Open Platform –
Freedom of Choice
Mamiya Leaf’s Open Platform policy delivers maximum choice and
compatibility with a wide range of different camera platforms.
This section covers the Leaf Credo back’s compatibility with the
Hasselblad V and H series, Mamiya RZ67 Pro IID, Phase One 645,
Mamiya 645, Contax 645 and View Camera solutions.
Double Exposure Protection
It is not possible to accidentally double expose an image by capturing
one shot quickly after another when a Leaf Credo back is used on
cameras such as the Mamiya 645DF+/DF/AF, Phase One 645DF+/DF/
AFDIII or Hasselblad 555 ELD (DIG mode). The electronic communication
with the body ensures that the Leaf Credo back is ready before allowing
release of the next shot. However, users of other camera bodies that do
not use the electronic interface from the Credo must wait for the ready
beep signal before releasing the next shot.
Viewfinder Masks
Cameras including the Mamiya RZ67 Pro IID and Hasselblad V-series
need a viewfinder mask as the image area of these models is different to
the image sensor size of the three Credo models.
