XF Camera System
The most flexible solution for the digitization of varied cultural collections
Capturing 3D Objects with Precision
Fine art reproduction isn’t limited to flat artworks; it extends to 3D objects like sculptures, pottery, and decorative arts. These objects are often photographed in studios, galleries, or exhibition halls, using carefully designed lighting setups that highlight their unique textures and details. Lighting options range from flash-based systems to continuous or natural daylight, tailored to meet the curator’s specific requirements.
For optimal results, medium format camera solutions, such as the Phase One XF, deliver unmatched resolution and detail. These systems, equipped with the highest-resolution sensors available, ensure the fastest and most accurate workflows, whether you’re capturing intricate 3D objects or large flat artworks.
Flexible solutions for mixed collections
The XF Camera System delivers the most flexible solution for cultural institutions with mixed collections that include immovable, highly sensitive, or architectural pieces which cannot be digitized in a fixed studio setting.
The XF is compatible with common copy stands, ensuring that both fixed studio digitization projects and the reproduction of immovable pieces are covered with a single solution.
With a range of resolutions and lenses available, all applications and needs are covered.
XF Camera System Features
Flexibility for mixed collections
An XF Camera System solution is befitting both for fixed copy stand-based digitization, as well as the digitization of immovable pieces such as large artworks, sensitive materials, statues, or architectural elements such as frescoes. This workflow flexibility is ideally suited for the digitization programs of museums and private collections.
Uncompromised image quality and integration
The XF Camera System delivers uncompromised image quality thanks to quality Schneider Kreuznach optics and high resolution full frame medium format sensors.
Phase One’s full frame medium format sensors allow you to capture more data, providing more detail and impressive results exceeding the requirements of even the most demanding digitization programs.
The full integration of hardware with the specialized Capture One CH software yields efficient, professional workflow and precision results. The Capture One CH integration offers complete camera control, reliable performance, and expertly crafted RAW conversion algorithms. Tools for auto-cropping and aligning of both documents and books is a huge time saver, as is the automated workflow for capturing negative film.
Durable build
The XF Camera System is built using industrial grade materials and processes, resulting in a camera that is both durable and reliable. The XF is built for daily use.
With the camera in Electronic Shutter mode, unlimited shutter actuations are possible, ensuring a long usable life with superb return on investment.
