SINARBACK eVOLUTION 86H and SINARBACK eXACT – IMAGE QUALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Sinar, a division of Leica Camera AG, has two digital backs in their lineup which offer unsurpassed performance and color accuracy. If your goal is to create digital images in highest quality, then rely on the Sinar Multi-shot digital backs. They provide much higher color resolution than one-shot backs – a clearly visible improvement, which cannot be achieved even with involved computer rework.

"It's easier to get the color you want by recording the color that's there."

Prof. Dr. Roy S. Berns, color expert at the Rochester Institute of Technology, USA

In Multi-shot photography, each pixel is captured by every primary color. You achieve an unimagined level of color accuracy and intensity. In addition, moiré will be prevented. Since there is no interpolation, there is no loss of definition either. The result is brilliant, sharp images of the highest quality. The multi shot Sinarbacks make it possible to reproduce the entire color spectrum perceptible to the human eye with absolute precision. With these backs Sinar has redefined color accuracy in digital photography. In addition,since they eliminate the need for time-consuming color corrections, they also save valuable time. Applications, for instance, are the digitization of artwork, reprography, and scientific photography, all of which require very accurate color reproduction.

With the Sinarback eVolution 86H, 1- and 4-Shot captures can be taken with its 50 MPx sensor, and prints of up to 50 cm x 70 cm can easily be produced.

Thanks to a unique adapter concept, it takes only a few simple moves to mount a Sinarback on a wide variety of camera platforms, including other brands. In addition, you can use this digital back not only with a view camera, but also with medium format camera systems.

The Sinarback eXact opens up a whole range of possibilities for you – use it flexibly in any studio situation, from packshots to high-end photography.

With this digital back, you can create multi-shot photography with 4 or 16 shots, allowing you to get resolution of up to 192 megapixels! In addition, the Sinarback eXact has a built-in downscaling function. That means, if required, you can also take photographs at low resolutions of 12 or 24 megapixels. With one digital back you are ready for all applications.

The Multi-shot Sinarbacks are designed for reliable studio work. They avoid electronic components like displays, batteries and internal memory as they can produce heat that causes color noise. The dual cooling of the sensor secures consistently high-quality photography, even over long shootings.
