Bicam - High Resolution model for Digital Backs

BICAM is a new generation modular camera, its flexibility and versatility make it very up-to-date. Competition in the field of digital photography, the continuous demand for new technological proposals requires tools which are easily adapted to new requirements. New lenses have been studied for the latest-generation sensors which require specific optical solutions in order to make the most of reduced-size microchips.

Combining digital backs with BICAM is achieved by mounting a Hasselblad type Sliding Adapter Back code D7020, or a simple Adapter Back code D7012. The Flexibellow allows mounting of digital and traditional lenses, the possibility of two-axis right-angle balancing, and focusing via a micrometrical system with a 23mm range. The lenses for Flexibellow are mounted on SILVESTRI bayonets without a helicoidal ring; their coincidence is achieved with specific bayonet mounts. The Schneider wideangle Digitar 2,8/28mm is available in helicoidal and bayonet mounts, to be used with a rigid type S plates.

It is possible to use NIKON wide angle lenses; 15mm, 18mm, 20mm, 24mm, by means of a special Nikon plate with bayonet mount and Copal Press shutter. The visual image can be obtained on frosted glass, or with a code 0900 external viewfinder with roof-style level, equipped with screen formats.

Wide-Angle, Langscape, Architectural, Industrial and Still Life Photography
Bicam has multiple uses; "still life" , industrial, architecture, indoor, travel, etc. Bicam also has a great aptitude for photography with wide-angle lenses; the greatly reduced distance from the focal plane of these lenses is very often a serious obstacle in the use of view cameras. Difficulty in positioning the wide-angle, difficulty due to the reduced distance from the focal plane, difficulty in undertaking accommodation movements, difficulty in aligning the planes. Bicam however can easily take on the role of a rigid body camera for use with a Digitar 2,8/28mm, and a moment later can be accessoried with a Flexibellow bellows, for studio photography, with the option of mounting the Digitar 4/80 or a Digital HR 100. Bicam can operate with an external shift viewfinder for rapid shot photography, without the need to check with the ground-glass finder, but at the time that a perfect framing is needed, the "Sliding Adapter" is ready to quickly bring the ground-glass finder into action.
