copenhagen-based phase one has announced the release of the ‘A-series’ compact mirrorless camera system, a range of three models capable of delivering up to 80-megapixel captures. the ‘A-series’ is based on the ALPA 12TC mirrorless camera body and uses a combination of phase one and ALPA technology, where it features specially calibrated wide and all-round focal length rodenstock lenses. 

its compact medium format proportions and ergonomic rosewood grip makes it extremely comfortable to hold

each A-series lens delivers incredible edge-to-edge sharpness with the ability to perfectly resolve the quality of a full frame medium format sensor up to 80 megapixels. the lenses range from ultra-wide 23mm, wide 35mm and all-round 70mm.

the system is the first in its class to introduce exclusive workflow features based on lens factory calibrations + software processing

introduced for the release of the new photography system, a new version of capture pilot allows users to check current selection of their A-lens directly from an iOS device. once images are captured, they are wirelessly displayed in the app, allowing you to validate focus, exposure and composition. the A250 model has the ability to stream live view wirelessly which is great for focus assist and composition. by using the new ALPA smart device holder, it is also possible to mount both iPhones and iPads directly on the camera.

the A-series combines the finest components across lenses, mirrorless body, digital backs and software
