Capture Integration is especially excited about this strong partnership. Capture Integration is the only national dealer with full line Phase One and ALPA partnerships. Capture Integration can service and support the full ALPA line – lenses, shims, calibrations and all accessories. The partnership will next offer powerful communication between the digital backs and tech camera workflow. Details coming soon. Stayed tuned for full coverage.
Lens profiles are factory calibrated and automatically applied in while shooting when using supported A-series lenses – this is a greatly improved capture experience since you can see images as they are shot both on back and in Capture Pilot without the need of applying an LCC.
