About a month and a half ago I decided to trade in my Hasselbad 60MP back, Hasselblad H4D camera body, the Alpa TC, Alpa 12-SWA for a
system built around the Phase One CMOS IQ250 back. I wanted to do the move while being able to keep all my H lenses and knew beforehand that I’d have some changes to the Alpa lenses I had (all Schneider Kreuznach).
I placed a call to Capture Integration and it just happened to be their CEO, Dave Gallagher, that answered. After explaining my plan to him, I was told that I would be contacted back soon. From that very first call and to several subsequent dealings with other fine folks (Dave McRitchie, Chris Valites, Anthony Festa, Josh Booth) its been an experience of its own while wading through the various logistics of extending my existing platform in an economical/sagacious manner.
The approach at Capture Integration has certainly captured my admiration and respect – optimizing the system for the long term benefit of the client. Its a wake up call for many in the business on how to conduct business. Capture Integration, in my mind, is a benchmark. Truly, a very special and unique dynamic is evolving at CI.
My newer system is now as follows
Bodies : Hasselblad H5X, Alpa STC, Alpa 12-XY-Mark IV
Back : Phase One IQ 250
Lenses : 40mm, 70mm, 90mm lenses for Alpa & my old H lenses from Hasselblad
Definitely take your business and form a long term relationship with the folks at Capture Integration — especially if you are tired of the underlying arrogance and a singular penchant to practice “JUST SELL” that pervades so widely in many a high-end photography business. I love the Phase One platform and the overall integration.
Thank You!!
