I'm working at a major museum, a unit of the Smithsonian. We don't have Hassy or Phase stuff. That's why I'm dragging my own Z in! And there are lots and lots more like us. And for those who do have Phase stuff....some of that stuff is really long in the tooth now. The upgrade path is very, very steep.

Well, you may need the new sensor, because the old one may not be in production any longer as far as we know

I am with you 100% there. It's an amateur thing, AFAIC.
