10.2Technical cameras

The use of technical cameras is growing. Images taken with a technical camera can have different look and feel compared to DSLR or medium format capture. The look is achieved through unique focal lengths, use of rise/drop and shift movements available since photography began and a different optical point of view.

For many photographers, quality cannot be compromised. A technical camera provides significantly more optical quality especially when combined with a Phase One back and Capture One software. The optical path is straight and simple with no mirror systems to worry about. This removes the need of retro-focus design wide-angle lenses that compromise image quality with DSLRs and mediumformat.

Both Rodenstock and Schneider have produced technical camera lenses that are tuned to the capture area and quality requirements for digital photography. A technical camera solution offers the sharpest possible results.

For more information on technical photography consult your local dealer.
