The Pixii Max, a new 24.5-megapixel full-frame digital rangefinder camera, has been launched by French company Pixii, adding to the list of options for photographers wanting to shoot in full frame rather than APS-C
Greatly adding to the Pixii Max’s appeal is its ability to take Leica M-mount lenses, handy for M lens owners if they fancy trying something different (or find themselves currently without an M-mount body).
Pixii Max key features
- New 24.5MP full-frame sensor: Pixii claims the new sensor delivers ‘exceptional dynamic range surpassing even its top-ranked predecessors. Photographers will appreciate the familiar feel of the 24×36 sensor paired with their rangefinder lenses of choice.’
- Wide-angle viewfinder: the new optical viewfinder features high-index optical glass and multi-coated anti-reflective surfaces. The new design features ‘comfortable’ frame lines for 35mm lenses, while offering a wide field of view, up to 28mm. There are also indicators in the optical viewfinder to help nail the desired exposure.
- Native monochrome: the Pixii Max is ccapable of producing native monochrome files.
- Based on a modern 64-bit platform to boost performance and connectivity and facilitate updates.
- Available in black and space grey, with a launch price of 3,999 euros (£3,385) with 32GB of internal storage, or 4,249 euros (£3596) for 128GB of storage.
Pixii will continue to produce and develop its APS-C camera, the Pixii +. The new Pixii Max is available to pre-order from Friday, July 5th, and details can be found here. Further details on the camera as we get them.
