Gear Test with Mike Last Photography
Want another perspective on how things went with last week’s Phase One Skateboard event? The folks at Mike Last Photography were good enough to post their thoughts, so we thought it polite that we share!
Vistek and Phase One recently got together to host a few hours at the Ashbridges Bay skatepark and let some local photographers get their hands on some high-end equipment that you don’t get to see in the wild every day. Promises of 80 megapixels and skateboards were enough to get me to sign up.

The Phase One Advantage Series Skateboard Event
Last week Vistek hosted a private event at Ashbridge’s Bay Skateboard Park, so that clients could get some hands-on experience with the new Phase One IQ series backs.
The event featured two pro/semi-pro skateboarders performing a number trick jumps & stunts along the park steps. The photo gear we used was as follows: Phase One IQ 180/160/140, Phase One 645 DF Camera, various Phase One and Mamiya lenses, and the Elinchrom Ranger Quadra RX kit .
The event itself was an overwhelming success and clients got to see, first-hand, why shooting with Medium format cameras has so many advantages over shooting with a standard DSLR.
Feel free to email Vistek’s Commercial Sales department with any questions or queries you might have about the Phase One systems. And, if you’re interested in setting up a hands-on private demo, they can help you out with that as well.
Thanks to everyone who made this event such a success – we look forward to seeing everyone at the next one!

Maximize your HDSLR Shooting with Zacuto’s Z-Finder
Zacuto’s Optical Viewfinders are large loupes that mount to the back of your HDSLR’s LCD, effectively letting you use your LCD as a viewfinder – a handy tool, indeed! And, with 3 versions available giving you correct form factor for video (the Pro 3x, Pro 2.5x and Jr.), you’ll have no problem finding the right one to suit.
Check out Philip Bloom’s review of the Z-Finder: Zacuto’s new DSLR Optical Viewfinder which allows DSLR cameras to have the correct form factor for video. “At the moment,” Bloom says, “there is nothing that comes close to this, it is absolutely essential for video on the 5dmkll. I couldn’t shoot handheld without it that’s for sure.” [source]
