Colin had a Canon Eos 1v with a PB-E2 motor drive, he sold it and bought a 1ds mkii body in its place. He retained his 24-70 70-200 & 100-400 IS L lenses along with 24, 45 & 90 t&s lenses. He also retained & continued to use his GX617, along with a Hasselblad Xpan II. The Ebony 45SU was sold sometime before the Eos 1v. Stitched panorama's (most notably Mount Denali & The Old Man of Storr) were tested with the 1DS mkii along side the Xpan. In both cases the stitched panorama's had alignment faults caused by the software.However (and this is a big however) we know another photographer who ditched his 6x17 and started stitching digitally and after a year or so came back to film. So calling this 'the end of film' is the same as saying 'this is the end of digital' when Colin Prior ditched his DSLR for his 6x17..
The Xpan was sold in June this year & was replaced with a Linhof 617s. Most recently Colin has tested, a Hasselblad H3D 39mkii, a Leica S2, Canon 1ds mkiii & Nikon D3x with Zeiss lenses. He's also tested an Alpa SWA with Phase One p65 back.
He has continued to shoot film throughout this period, and at present, plans to continue.
