HORIZON   D-L3

Digital Panoramic Camera

Following its tradition, Zenit introduces a new model of panoramic camera for the Horizon series.
The Horizon D-L3 digital camera completes the series of the Horizon models still in production, giving all the lovers of panoramic photography the opportunity of using a new digital quality tool rich in innovative solutions.
 
HORIZON D-L3 is a first step in a new era for panoramic photography in Russia.
With the HORIZON D-L3 the principles that made the camera simple and instantaneous to use without scarifying quality, were maintained. The project developed in Joint Venture with Silvestri Italy is based on a three digital modules system giving the simultaneous acquisition of 3 images. This makes it possible to shoot freehand subjects of all kind, including those in motion.

The 28mm equivalent lens, designed to correspond to the resolution of the CMOS sensors, represents the qualifying element of the camera. The quality of the Russian optics is well known and has always been appreciated worldwide. The Zenitar 28mm f 3.5 equivalent becomes a great strong point compared to the more modest offers of the market.

The optical viewfinder with top level, part of the HORIZON constructive tradition, is the continuity in the innovation.

A wide touch screen display gives access to the menu options and to images viewing.

A specific stitching software is supplied wit the camera, making the stitching operation fast and easy to complete on the PC.

REPRO DIGICAM digital reproduction system

Specifically designed for reproduction with high resolution digital backs, Repro Digicam assures rigidity and perfect parallelism. The technical aspects of this specific field have been studied accurately to obtain the best performances.

There is a continuous need to reproduce originals of various nature, for the large archives of analogue photographs, glass negatives, celluloid, old photographs on deteriorated materials, but also for many other sectors like drawings, designs, medical radiographies, colour slides etc.

The use of high resolution digital backs: Phase One, Hasselblad, Leaf, etc. ensures rapidity of use and an extremely high quality.

It is useless to explain all the advantages of digitalizing historical and archive material, to quote just a few, for their preservation but also for restoration or conservation, for transforming them into a format that is easy to use for editorial, expositive or studio purposes.

Compared to scanners, Repro Digicam has the advantage of not having a physical contact with the original, moreover the time of reproduction is very short and the digital back can be used for other photographic applications.

Technical information:

- Reproduction ratio: infinite to 1:1
- Lens attachment: Silvestri bayonet
- Mechanical or electronic shutter
- Sliding adapter with interchangeable drop-in plates: Hasselblad V, H, Mamiya, Leaf AFi.
- Remote control unit for electronic shutters.
- Focusing system with remote control.
- Reflex viewfinder for direct focusing.

COMPENDIUM with rotating filter slots

In the new conception of landscape photography and video takings, the use of the compendium, especially in the version with filter-holder slots, has become an essential accessory.

Silvestri presents a version of is own articulated on some qualifying strength points:

• Attachment for various adapter rings for lenses up to 95mm with lock system.
• 2 filter-holder slots for resin or polyester filters 100x100 - 100x150 mm.
• Rotating system for the positioning of graduated filters.
• 95mm front threaded ring for glass, polarizer, ND filters etc.
• Double locking system of the lengthening, asymmetric too, to avoid vignetting in video takings.
• Dimensions: 200x140x50mm

HD CAMERA HOLDER

The new digital cameras introduce a new and flexible way to have access to the HD video.
The large CMOS sensors and the quality of the latest DSLR cameras together with the progressively evolved microprocessors, offer the photographers and the video operators ambivalent systems of top quality.

Silvestri proposes a holder with a magnifying lupe for an enlarged vision of the display up to 3,5”. The lupe has the focus adjustable by mean of a helical system. The holder is extremely compact, foldable and easy to carry outside the studio. It is made with top quality mechanical elements.
A comfortable body harness gives high stability during the video shooting. The holder fits by mean of a quick release on the plastic bib.

A release stirrup in the bottom can attach the holder to a tripod or an amplifier can be added.
The system can be also accessorised with a Compendium with filterholder slots. More accessories will be available soon.

New SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH digital center filter

Schneider-Kreuznach has expanded its range of center filters to include a new digital version. Vignetting caused by wide-angle lenses is corrected by means of software.

BAD KREUZNACH, 29 April 2010.
In cooperation with Nurizon Software, Schneider-Kreuznach has developed a digital center filter as a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop®. This digital filter corrects the natural reduction in brightness at the edge of an image (referred to as vignetting) that occurs when using wide-angle lenses. Unlike conventional filters, the digital version can be used for processing images after they have been taken, thus avoiding light loss or distracting vignetting and reflections. What is so special about this new development is that the software allows brightness correction to be adjusted continuously and uses a completely new procedure to protect the light (Acolens Adaptive Light Protection). The plug-in software with exact lens-specific data is included with all Schneider-Kreuznach wide-angle lenses.
