The extraordinary versatility of view
cameras expands the seemingly rigid
boundaries of photography, providing the
photographer with entirely new degrees
of creative freedom.
The film and lens planes on adjustable

camera platforms from Sinar can easily
be shifted for very convenient perspective
corrections and even for modifications.
By working with the camera’s features, the
photographer can skillfully use its swings and
tilts to define the planes of sharpness and
unsharpness in such a way as to convey
precisely the desired pictorial expression to
the viewer.
We are well into the era of digital
networking. Large photographic
businesses recognized the advantages
of digital imaging (from original exposure
to printed page). The flexibility of the
Sinar System makes it easy, for instance,
to attach a digital back to a Sinar p2,
creating a perfect professional digital
camera, one that matured from its infancy
long ago and that is in full active use in a

SINARON DIGITAL LENSES IN Sinaron Digital Lenses with Auto Aperture
AUTO APERTURE (DB) MOUNTS Mounts (446.85.119 –164) were designed
ON LENS BOARDS for use with digital single-chip CCD
446.85.119 – 164 backs. Resolving power and selection of
focal lengths are tailored specifically to
the small size of the CCD array. In order
to reduce stray light and to maintain the
best possible camera adjustment capabili-

Sinar Expolux Shutter

EXPOLUX SHUTTER XT Its microprocessor-controlled rotary blades
522.21.008 ensure an even exposure, also in fast
shutter speeds. The shutter is operated
by means of a Palm IIIx or V pocket com-
puter from 3Com and the Sinar Palm-
Expolux Controller 522.21.038. The range
of parameters controlled by the software
makes it possible to tailor the shutter
specifically to the task at hand. The range
of shutter speeds extends from 1/500 to
2 seconds and T in 1/3 aperture stops.
The range of apertures that can be con-
trolled automatically ranges from f/4 to
f/128, depending on the lens in the Auto
Aperture Mount.
• The power supply and the communica-
tion link with the Palm Computer take
place by means of the Expolux RS-232
Power Supply Unit 522.21.046.
• A behind-the-lens filter holder 100 mm
(4″) 547.41 is included.
PALM EXPOLUX CONTROLLER The Sinar Expolux XT shutter 522.21.008

522.21.038 is controlled and operated by means of
the PalmExpolux software, which is loaded
on a Palm IIIx or V pocket computer from
3Com.
• Lenses equipped with Expolux coding

tablets are recognized automatically, so
that the shutter always “knows” exactly
which lens is being used.
• Apertures (from f/4 to f/128) and shut-
ter speeds (from 1/500 to 2 seconds and T)
can easily be set directly on the touch
screen of the pocket computer by means
of a stylus. For better evaluation of the
depth of field, the aperture can also be
stopped down to the working aperture.
• An automatic cable serves to detect
whether there is a film holder in the cam-
era. The shutter closes automatically
when a film holder is inserted into the
camera and it remains closed until the
film holder is removed.
• Exposure metering at the film plane
can also be performed with the Sinar
Booster 1 and with a Minolta exposure
meter
• In order to keep the photographer‘s
hands free for making the settings on the
camera, the Pocket computer can be
placed in a special holder that comes
with the PalmExpolux Controller Kit and
that can be attached to the Basic Rail.

Sinar Auto Aperture Shutter

SINAR AUTO APERTURE Mechanical behind-the-lens shutter with
SHUTTER spring-loaded aperture control. The Sinar
521.31 Auto Aperture Shutter enables you to

less on camera operating technique.
• You operate the shutter from behind
the camera, where you belong. No longer
do you have to kneel before your camera
in order to check whether the aperture is
stopped down, the shutter closed or even
cocked.
• The shutter is always fully open until
just before the exposure is made, for max-
imum brightness of the focusing screen.
• When you insert the film holder into the
camera, the shutter automatically closes.
That makes the time lost because of acci-
dentally exposed films a thing of the past.
• When the shutter is released, the
unique Sinar spring-loaded aperture con-
trol (DB) automatically closes the aperture
down to the preselected value and the
shutter is automatically re-cocked.
• Shutter speed range: 1/60 to 8 seconds

Quality over All

A quality chain is only as strong as its
weakest link. Sinar has set itself the
task of steadily eliminating the weakest
elements of that chain. That was the
reason for Sinar to develop its own pre-
cision sheet film holder, which keeps
the film in a remarkably flatter position
than familiar double sheet film holders Cross-section of a Sinar precision Sheet Film Holder.
do. Maximum deviation of the film plane
from the ideal image plane amounts to
an exceedingly small ± 0.03 mm (1/800″).
In conventional sheet film holders, this
deviation can amount to 0.3 mm (1/80″)
and more, regardless of the film type
being used.
The comparison photographs on the
right (magnified 20×) show a test pho-
tograph with the film surface in the op-
timum plane and another with the film
surface displaced 0.3 mm (1/80″) from
the optimum image plane (both at full
aperture). Test photograph with the film plane in Film displaced only 0.3mm (1/80″) from

SINAR ADHESIVE SHEET Sheet film is kept very flat by means of

era is tilted downwards. That makes unex-

the past. Excellent film flatness makes
this holder an important tool, especially
for photographs with multiple exposures.
The holder can be reloaded several hun-
dred times. Replacement adhesive sheets
are available.

exposures depends on the format that has
been selected, which can be changed

the right column (T2: color sensitization
of the film). The required conversion fil-
ter can then be read where the ruler's
edge crosses the center column. More
