Slide Adapter 5x7 with Drop-in Plate

This new Sliding adapter is the product of our long experience in the manufacturing of professional cameras for high resolution digital photography.
The stitching facility enables the photographer to almost double the file size of his image by shooting two images, side by side, and joining through software. This option gives the photographer many possibilities over the standard chip format and angle of view of lenses available

Completely re-designed with a new system of drop-in adapter plates and with further improved characteristics of the sliding movement and overall precision.
The new drop-in system, allows the quick substitution of adapter plates; adapter plates are available for Hasselblad V, H, AFI, Contax and Mamiya 4,5x6 attachments. The digital back can be positioned either horizontally or vertically according to the needs.

The extension rings have a female bayonet on one side and a male bayonet on the other one.

They can also be used on the T30 camera in combination with the Back focusing bellow code 5000.

Flexicam
Silvestri presents a new camera specifically designed for digital photography. Our ability in conceiving specific and specialized products has been realized in our new project: the FLEXICAM.

Flexicam is an extremely compact and light camera, suitable for both outdoor and studio photography. Its characteristic compactness and extreme versatility will make it the best choice for architectural and travel photographers. Wide movements and a large range of accessories, flexibility and ease of transport, full compatibility with the Silvestri accessories, large choice of lenses and adapters for digital applications.

New fitting systems for the back accessories, a new extra compact sliding adapter of new concept and a shooting system that allows the use of Hasselblad C lenses have been designed for the Flexicam.

Flexicam is a self-standing system that allows the use of high resolution digital backs: Hasselblad, Imacon, Phase One, Eyelike, Megavision and Leaf and has the standard Silvestri bayonet attachment. Two series of lenses are available; Rodenstock Digital and Schneider Digitar lenses in either Copal or Prontor magnetic shutters with digital control and interface for single shot, multishot and microstep digital backs.

Flexicam achieves good performance with the short focal length of the new Schneider 35XL lens that is normally mounted without the need of special recessed mounting.

Adapters for 33x44 sensors

 

All the Silvestri Sliding Adapters are now available in a new version with frames on the ground glass for the 33x44 format sensors.


Actuator for Hasselblad V lenses

 

The Silvestri Actuator adapts Hasselblad lenses from the V series with Silvestri cameras for digital use. It performs the cocking and triggering functions normally executed inside the Hasselblad body. Future versions of Actuator, on special adapter boards, will link these same lenses to Linhof, Sinar and other popular view cameras.

All this represents a remarkable step forward for many professional photographers. The generous image circles of Hasselblad lenses (75mm or more for many focal lengths) make them attractive for use with digital backs. Full corrective movements (shift, tilt, swing) are now available for those lenses.

We provide two types of Actuators for use with Silvestri cameras: one for Bicam and T30, the other for S5 micron.

The future versions of Actuator, for other view cameras, will be designed with the appropriate adapter boards.

Motorizes Focusing Bellow

 

The Motorflexi used in conjunction with a digital back offers 'live video' and absolute accuracy, combined with the confort of operating from a remote controlled position by a monitor. The Motoflexi adds the remote focusing motor facility to the tilt and swing movements provided by the traditional Silvestri Flexibellows.
