A superb Sinar camera for the working Pro...
Zurich, 23.11.2012 - 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. In addition, you can raise the lens by up to 25mm, or lower it by up to 15mm, which helps prevent convergent or divergent verticals when shooting architecture. In the event you wish to make stitched, rotational panoramic pictures, it's good to know the tripod mount is physically located on the optical axis, however, for hand-held use, the tripod base can be removed quickly, thanks to its rapid and secure locking mechanism. There are optional, silky-smooth ergonomic grips, which provide security in handling, making the Sinar lanTec an essential tool for mobile indoor and outdoor shooting by all Photographers. As for composing the image, your Apple iPhone or iPod Touch can be connected to the lanTec via a special Sinar rotating adapter. This serves as a viewfinder which can quickly be set for either portrait or landscape orientation and which provides a brilliant image for composing and also for leveling the camera. You will need the Viewfinder Pro App available from the Apple App Store. The Sinar lanTec is available with optional interchangeable adapters to suit M645, Hasselblad-H and Hasselblad-V digital back mounts.
