At Photokina, Sinar will introduce a new high-resolution multishot
digitalback with 48.8 Megapixel. Complementing the eVolution75 H, which is in wide use in the
market, the eVolution86 H features a CCD sensor with a significantly higher number of pixels. This
50% increase, when used with appropriate lenses, clearly enhances the image quality. The 50%
increase in pixels readily permits prints with 300 dpi at 19 ½ x 27 ½ inches.
Produced in Switzerland by Swiss Engineers, the Sinar lanTec camera features controls for image management that are integrated into the camera. The camera movements can be used with the entire range of dedicated Sinaron Digital CEF lenses. The shift range is set effortlessly up to 20mm left and right – and this effectively increases the virtual area of your CCD making new image aspect ratios in the process for larger, more detailed files.
Sinar Photography AG introduces the Sinar p-slr, the professional attachment for 35mm SLR cameras to Sinar view cameras.
The Sinar p-slr was designed especially for photographers who would like to combine the convenience of digital single lens reflex cameras with the advantages and quality characteristics of a Sinar view camera. Exact control of perspectives and selective sharpness - the most important creative tools in photography - can be set and evaluated precisely on a view camera.
When using a long, fast telephoto or zoom lens, it can be almost impossible to hand hold your equipment and frame images. To insure your images are sharp, you need a sturdy tripod and a rugged gimbal head like the Sirui PH-20 Gimbal Head, distributed by Argraph. The Sirui PH-20 Gimbal Head makes your heavy camera and lens system fast-handling and weightless! Attach the lens to the PH-20 and you can smoothly and precisely track fast moving subjects, pre-set your composition or be ready for unexpected photo opportunities.
