The new Sinarback S 30|45

(pressebox) Zürich, 16.09.2016 - The new Sinarback S 30|45 was specially designed for mobile use and is uniquely versatile for shooting photos and film. A high-resolution 3-inch display guarantees a perfect overview of photographs in every situation or produces a live image directly on the display. WLAN offers the option of comfortable operation with an iPad. The CF and SD memory card slots ensure a reliable workflow also outdoors. With tethered shooting, the USB 3.0 connection routes the data directly to the Sinar CaptureFlow software. The Sinarback S 30|45 provides maximum flexibility, extreme sensor sensitivity of up to ISO 12500 and extensive capturing features for photographs and videos in the highest quality.

Built-in Video Option

This digital back can do more than just take pictures. A Leica CMOS sensor with micro lenses (37.5 megapixels) and a Leica Maestro II image processor also provide the option of shooting videos in Full HD up to 4K.

Sinar S-CS Adapter for Leica S-Lenses

Photographers now have the option of using Leica S-Lenses in addition to the familiar Sinaron digital lenses! The new Sinar S-CS adapter makes this linkage possible, providing a seamless connection. So, the Sinarback S 30|45, the S-CS adapter and the Leica S central shutter lenses make up a compact and very simple-to-use system unit.

It looks like someone glued a Polaroid back onto a digital back.

Not sure I get it, but maybe when the 'S-CS adapter' appears it will all make sense.

Combining these components looks like a first stage mirrorless CMOS Leica S, with great tethered usage and lens adaptability. Only the designer has to be involved with it yet, but.....
It opens up possibilities:
1. The front window looks like there is room for a new generation bigger sensor (54x36, 6 ùm, 54 MP f.i.).
2. Options for an adapter with movements with the Sinar or third party lenses.Or perhaps something like a new generation Artec is coming. The back certainly fits on the existing P3 etc. with some new boards?
3. Greater adaptation on a tripod in the field and in the studio and improved portability.
4. Specialist T/S UWA lenses coming for this back, instead for the S?

Overall a competitor for the Alpa FPS. Interesting.....

Will see next week what the specs, real future plans and products with it are.

Thank you for the pictures and your comments. It looks like the back will work with the copal and electronic shutters. It's not clear if the CMV lenses will be working.

Does anybody know how much does it cost to convert a Sinaron to the Sinar Elecrtonic Shutter?

Kudos to Leica - reviving Sinar and giving them a heart transplant !

I have waited for this for some years to happen, and now finally Sinar has done it, where Blad and Phase were lacking courage.

This is the first dedicated MF 4K Video back, that also shoots midsize stills.
It can be used universally on a viewcamera, for new modular concepts and the back is part of the camera. Finally MF has arrived in the 21st. century.
Kind of what RED was talking about, but only very few people were really shooting a RED as a stills camera.

Big Like !

Stefan

PS.: Hasselblad could have done something similar with the XD1, but they missed that chance.

Let me know when you reach in to your wallet and pay for one of these - and I will personally write you a sympathy card.

will not be competitor to the FPS has it has no shutter unit. So, it's another Hasselblad X1D competitor that is neither compact or useable.

The reason why it's S-CS (Central Shutter) adaptor is because of no shutter, no?

I will take a look on Photokina and if it uses an electronic shutter (which is probably the case when I look at the Leica S adapter), we can also build some nice parts for the front for TS and some more...... :)

Forget most of what I said before. The Back relies on either a Sinar shutter in the lens or on the central leaf shutter of Leica S lenses equipped with it.
Which is in Case rendering the whole Idea nearly useless for additional modularity.

Leaves 4k video for the concept as I thought it to be. So - about the same "nearly finished" concept as Hasselblads XD1............

Stefan,

Thank you for the information.

Maybe they will let the HC and HCD lenses work with a stacked Hasselblad H- Leica adapter.

If they want to sell this new back to a Sinar-less buyer, they shall offer some adapters, otherwise the market is minuscule.

I don't use wide lenses, and for me, after my Sinar P3 was stolen, a regular Leica 007, mounted on something like a Balpro or Actus makes more sense. It has its own shutter and I can use my old LF lenses.
A multishot version of this back would have changed everything for me.
