Sinar opens its Camera Systems to Camera Backs from other Manufacturers

The Sinar System has become even more versatile: as of right now all digital backs made by other manufacturers can be attached to the leading camera platforms in professional photography! What up to now has only been possible with considerable effort and great expense has changed dramatically. Simple and cost-effective adaptations for the widely used Sinar p3 view camera and the outstanding architectural camera Sinar arTec are now available to all users of camera backs made by other manufacturers.



Sinar View Camera p3 and p3 RV

The newly expanded versatility of the Sinar System creates an enormous increase in possible applications for the large number of digital backs that are currently on the market. Sinar has developed a new rear coupling frame for the Sinar p3 camera and matching adapters for Hasselblad V, H1/H2 and Mamiya 645 AFD, designed especially for users of digital backs made by other manufacturers. This new camera is called the Sinar p3 RV. The results are most impressive – working with the camera is gratifying in every respect. The totally stable view cameras p3 and pr3 RV stand out for their precision because their adjustments have no play and therefore do not need follow-up - and now the users of non-Sinar digital backs are able to enjoy that convenience. This controlled and precise manner of working constitutes the basis of high-end professional photography. For those users who would like to apply this advantage retroactively, Sinar offers attractive conversion packages.

Sinar arTec

A similar expansion of versatility has taken place with the Sinar arTec camera, which has continually undergone practice-based enhancements since its introduction two years ago. Because of its unique sliding adapter and its high-precision mechanical construction, this camera has become the optimally tailored tool for all those who need to use digital imaging outdoors reliably and professionally. The great news from Sinar is that, with adapters for Hasselblad V, H1/H2 and Mamiya 645, this camera platform is now available to users of camera backs from other manufacturers. Minor changes that were made only recently, now make it possible to mount these adapters to one and the same sliding board, so that this system is also highly attractive to rental studios.

Convention testimonials Just want to thank you for the amazing SWPP convention. Even though I could only visit yesterday (15th) I had a great time and was great to focus on my business and what I want to achieve both short term and long term and to think of the area that I need to develop my skills in.
