Camera Mounts

Leaf Digital backs have specific mount fitting one of following camera systems:

BrandType
Phase One645AF, 645DF (Same mount as Mamiya)
Mamiya645DF, 645AFD (I+II+III), RZ67 (Pro II), RZ Pro IId, RB67
HasselbladH-system
HasselbladV-system (not 200 or 2000 versions)
Leaf AFiAlso known as "Rollei Hy6"
Contax645AF
FujiGX680II, GX680III - not a Leaf mount; adapter available from 3rd party
BronicaSQA, SQAi, ETRSi (No longer made)

It is not easily possible to convert the mount of a digital back for a different medium format body via adapter because different camera system has different interfaces. Such a conversion may be possible by sending the back to Leaf to be physically reconfigured, depending on the specific model. Where Phase one is just replacing back with same model but for a different camera.

All Leaf digital backs can be used on all view cameras by using the correct adapter plate, for example: Sinar, Linhof, Toyo, Alpha, Arca, Cambo and different others via Leaf Graflok or third party adapters. This is possible because view cameras have an adjustable focal plane.
The AFI backs (Now discontinued) were specifically designed to work with Sinar/Rollei systems only.
