PHOTOKINA 2010: Sinar

Sinar eShutter
With the introduction of the new Sinar eShutter at Photokina, Sinar Photography shows another groundbreaking innovation. Sinar e-Shutter – the revolutionary electronic shutter solution sets new standards in modern high-end photography. Integrated microprocessor controls guarantee the highest precision when working with a view camera and they provide fast shutter speeds of up to 1/250 second. A unique feature is the application of 7-blade technology that results in nearly circular aperture openings. The use of state-of- the-art components and electronics makes the compact and light weight construction possible that permits the attachment to different camera platforms.

The Sinar eShutter is completely integrated into the Sinar System and in addition, thanks to its open architecture, it can also be used with any other system. The aforementioned construction permits unrestricted conversions of existing lenses of the “0” size and provides an attractive entry into the Sinar eShutter system.

Controlling and operating the Sinar eShutter takes place in a regular manner on a Macintosh or a PC via a USB interface. What is completely new is the intuitive operation by means of up-to-date and widely used communication tools such as the Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch: Trendy technologies that not only stand for innovation, but also for reliable and efficient working methods.

The first shipments of Sinar eShutter will be in 1st Quarter 2011. The price of the Sinar eShutter as well as for the various conversions and upgrades will be announced at Photokina.

At Photokina 2010, Sinar will introduce a new high-resolution multishot digitalback with 48.8 Megapixels, the eVolution86 H.

When a single image is not enough for the best photograph:
Whenever work is being performed in the fields of still life or archiving, Multi-Shot backs stand out because of their high resolution of details, which is especially noticeable because of rich contrast in color transitions. In the 4-shot mode, the CCD sensor’s pixel matrix is shifted three times laterally or vertically by exactly one pixel width from one exposure to the next, so that every image point is covered by every primary color (red, green and blue). Another decisive argument in favor of Multi-Shot technology is the significantly reduced Moiré effect, which becomes hardly noticeable because of the controlled color layering. This exposure technique completely eliminates the interpolation that is necessary with one-shot products. All Sinar Multi-Shot products, of course, can be operated in a pure one-shot mode.

Sinar offers adapters for Sinar p3, Sinar Hy6, Mamiya RZ 67, RB 67, 645 AFD Pro, Fuji GX 680, Contax 645, Hasselblad V and H, and 4×5 view cameras.

The first shipments of Sinarback eVolution86 H will be in October 2010. The price is CHF 24’800.- (excl. TAX) – attractive trade-in offers on request.
