Returning to your roots has never been easier. Literally a film replacement for your favorite medium or large format camera, the Achromatic+ digital back delivers traditional black and white imagery at a level that has never before been achieved.

    The Achromatic+ digital back is a purely black and white, 39-million pixel digital back designed for the capture of light in it’s purest form. There is no Bayer pattern on the sensor and specialized data read-out, which means it never separates the light into colors and subsequently there is  zero color interpolation and a unique quality.

    IQ3100 Achromatic and IQ4 150 Achromatic, up to 151 Million Pixels, similar to the Achromatic+ Image Quality for XF Camera, XT and others.

    Details are captured with unparalleled clarity and accuracy, and the possibilities for the control we once had are now present again. Each pixel records what it sees; no more, no less, and without the interference of mosaic-color information nor demosaic processing.

Return to your  roots  with the Achromatic

The definition of black and white imagery.

The Achromatic+ integrates seamlessly with all major medium format, large format, and technical camera systems... meaning you can once again shoot with your favorite camera... or build a completely new system.
