He will be traveling to Israel June 2nd to June 7th to visit Leaf's manufacturing facility and spend time shooting and learning about the new S series backs and the new Leaf AFi Autofocus camera. During the trip, the agenda includes Tel Aviv, the Mediterranean Sea, Jerusalem, and the Dead Sea.

The Leaf AFi Camera
The Leaf AFi is specifically designed for high-resolution digital photography, and is seamlessly integrated with the new Leaf Aptus S-Series digital camera backs. The Leaf AFi product line will include three models: Leaf AFi -75; Leaf AFi -65 and Leaf AFi -54. Leaf solutions are based on the premise that a professional digital camera should operate intuitively, becoming an extension of the photographer's hands, while supporting maximum creative freedom and technical excellence. With this in mind, Leaf developed this new medium format digital camera solution to match the specific demands of high-resolution digital shooting. The Leaf AFi provides professional photographers with a 6 x 6 medium-format digital camera solution in a compact 6 x 4.5 design. The Leaf camera addresses the needs of professional photographers who require the combination of quality, speed and control, united into a simple to use and robust system. The Leaf AFi is flexible, adaptable, and fully compatible with the Leaf digital back technology.

Based on a newly designed camera body, some of the Leaf AFi's unique features, include:

Changeable viewfinder system (waist level or 90¡/prism view)
Specially designed Schneider-Kreuznach digital lenses for speed and sharp images
Adjustable control grip provides ergonomically optimal angles for different shooting angles.
Switching between portrait and landscape by turning only the camera back; no need to turn the camera.
