New: HCam-B1v

HCam-B1v is the version for all viewcamera lenses starting at 60mm and longer.So you can use your existing Rodenstock and Schneider (or other) lenses with all adapters and tubes/helicoids of existing Frame Cameras e.g.Alpa, Cambo, Sylvestri or Sinar (perfect replacement for Sinar M systems !) on the HCam-B1v. The customer can freely choose the adapter Frame and use his existing lenses now with an electronic bladeshutter from 30 sec to 1/4000 sec - fully computerized, tethered and untethered multishots and remote controlled/released. This version does not have the Canon electronic aperture control, therefor the price is even lower than the HCam-B1 version

New: HCam-B1i

The HCam-B1i is the Industry/Technical/Science and Reproversion of our HCam-B1. There will be no motorized slider , the back can be mounted fixed , with this calibrated systems for Image analysis and technical processing become possible. we use the Canon EF mount with electronic aperture. This enables wideangle reception of 125 degrees image angle (rectilinear - without distortions)- with the new Canon 180 degr. 8-15mm Fisheye zoom we get 3D 360 degrees panoramic shots with a max. of 3 exposures and 160Mpix in under 10 sec(with special Panorama head).

ATTENTION : COMBINATIONS OF HCAM-B1v AND HCAM-B1i ARE AVAILABLE ON ORDER
