Steve Hendrix – reporting from New York City with updates from Shoot NYC and Photoplus 2013:
Broncolor Para 133
Shipping in December. Pricing TBD
- 133 centimeters across – naturally enters the lineup between the para 88 and para 177
- The rear element does not have to be removed like the para 88
- Bar can slide in for transport
- More diffused interior lining – balances out to create focused light without too much contrast
- Bron lampheads can mount fro the rear ala’ the Para 88
- Any manufacturer lamphead can be mounted to the focusing pole inside the Para 133 (via adapter in above image)
Sinar P / Leica S
Interesting news from Sinar, as they have developed a front and back end solution for Leica S/S2. There is now an adapter or Leica S Camera to Sinar P View Camera. It’s very well implemented, including a revolving element for horizontal to vertical position change.
There is also support now in Sinar CaptureFlow software for Leica (via the Leica Shuttle). However, this is in depth software support, which includes camera control and ability to focus Leica lenses from the software interface. The Capture Integration team will be getting a sense of the tethered capture performance today at the Sinar booth at PhotoExpo.
