Thierry,
are the new Sinarbacks available in the UK yet:
The new sinarbacks: Sinarback 54 MC digital back (small and presumably good value) and the multi-shot ("real colour") Sinarback eVolution 75H have been out for a bit now. The later in particular is genuinely a unique product - being I believe the first implementation of the 33MP sensor in Multishot. Yes they are tethered, but with the fast Mac computers with their great batteries, I wonder whether these can be used one the move to some extent better than say the H25 could have been (power hungry tethered). Anyone know how quickly this back drains the high capacity battery of a New Mac Book Pro as it is I assume "on all the time" rather than a shot by shot basis? Sinar’s Thierry.. why not make an "image bank" style of accessory for this back like Hasselblad’s still does with its backs, which is a self-contained battery and storage running a basic operating system in a small self contained box ?
Is multi-shot only there to make sure there is no Moire, or would you also use it to ensure accurate colour (above and beyond tweaking in photoshop). Do you get more actual resolution in the 4-shot mode... or am I thinking of the old iXpress imacon backs with their 8 shot solution ? I have heard people say that things look "sharper" ?
Presuamly using a multi-shot back limmits you to certain raw converters that know how to open and re-combine into a sinle image all that data, or is teh RAW file from these able to be directly opened in lightroom etc ?
Does Peltier cooling mean less noise at higher iso (800), or have you seen no evidence of this. Maybe better long exposure noise control, which I think for the Dalsa chip limits expsure to about 40 seconds before hte image looks bad at the moment ?
Any comments ?
Who in London would demo one of these.. PM me a dealers e-mail address please.
PS do these backs all work with an adaptor plate system availalbe for every make of camera (more or less) ?
