Rolleiflex Hy6 Film and Digital Camera

Rolleiflex Hy6 Film and Digital Camera PictureAdvanced medium format film/digital camera with interchangeable back

New York, New York  – An advanced medium format camera for film and digital applications that features the ability to accept pro digital backs and an auto focus zoom lens will be unveiled at PhotoPlus Expo by Direct Source Marketing (D.S.M.).  PhotoPlus Expo takes place at the Javitz Center in New York from October 18-20th, 2007.

Called the Rolleiflex Hy6, the new camera is a film-digital breakthrough that features a unique open system for high-end digital backs, but also 6×4.5 and 6×6 format film.

Also to be unveiled are interchangeable lens for the Horseman SW617. One lens unit is equipped with Schneider’s Super Symmar XL 110mm, which will be between 90 and 180MM. The other is the longest focal length for 6×17 format, with a Fujinon T 400MM. The system will accept lenses from 72mm through 400mm; has rise and fall; and accepts a reducing 6×12 back.

The Hy6 (“Hy” for “hybrid) is an evolutionary extension of the 6008 AF, but with new features such as the open system user interface, a new focus detector, which is able to focus under difficult lighting conditions, and a Lithium-ion battery that can be recharged without having to worry about memory loss. The height of the Hy6 is lower than the 6008 AF since the motor-drive is removed from the body and the new battery is located in the hand grip. This makes the system both compact and light.

Other features of the Hy6 include leaf shutters with full flash sync up to 1/1000 sec; a 90 degree viewfinder, a new built-in quick release; mirror-blocked multi-exposure; and a large LCD on the hand grip, which reveals shutter speed, aperture settings, battery condition and other data.

There are five new interchangeable lenses, called the AFd series, available for the HY6. The optical specs are the same as the AF lenses, but the aperture setting is conveniently located on the electrical grip. The Hy6 works with all lenses that work on the 6008 series so the investment in lenses from one manufacturer will be protected and users won’t be forced into buying a particular lens.

The camera, lens and accessories are made in Germany. The lens are produced by Franke & Heidecke under a licensing agreement with Schneider and Carl Zeiss

Direct Source Marketing, the U.S distributor for medium and large format Horseman and Rolleiflex professional cameras and Rodenstock filters, will be the sole source for the new camera and all Rollei products in the U.S. ranging from prisms, lenses and monorail systems. The products are available at leading retailers.

D.S.M. Worldwide was created last year as a result of the joint venture between Komamura Corporation, a long time distributor of Rollei and Horseman products in Japan, and Franke & Heidecke, the Germany-based manufacturer of Rollei professional products and Horseman components. Together, they are the NEW Rollei.

D.S.M.’s integrated approach is designed to give professional and prosumer photographers a family of integrated products that allow photographers to easily interchange lenses, backs, and accessories without having to outsource. This saves time, money, and prevents product obsolescence.

Epson Stylus Photo R1900

Epson Stylus Photo R1900 PictureIncorporating revolutionary color processing technology and UltraChrome™ Hi-Gloss2 Ink, the Epson Stylus Photo R1900 offers a new level of quality for photo enthusiasts, who demand the big picture.

October 3, 2007 – The Epson Stylus Photo R1900 incorporates the latest developments from Epson to provide durable, superior quality, Hi-Definition photos up to A3+ on a wide range of media. It includes groundbreaking image processing algorithms to manage color combinations and ensure beautiful prints. It also features a new formulation of Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink technology. UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 represents the evolution of photographic printing, offering a wider color gamut, natural skin tones and consistent color with a smooth gloss finish.

In addition to cyan, magenta and yellow inks, UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 featuresEpson Logo matte black, photo black, red, orange and gloss optimizer. The new orange ink replaces the blue ink previously used with UltraChrome Hi-Gloss. It allows Epson to offer significant enhancements in color reproduction for natural skin tones. Output also features more vivid oranges and an expansion in the red color gamut. The magenta and yellow inks have been reformulated and contribute to accurate blue and green tones. The resin coating of the gloss optimizer and color inks has been redesigned to create even smoother and glossier prints. The individual ink cartridges mean only the color that is used needs to be replaced.

The eight-color inkset featured in the Stylus Photo R1900 creates a staggering 18,446,774 trillion color combinations. To calculate which combination should be used to deliver the tones and colors required for the images, Epson has developed new Look Up Table (LUT) technology in partnership with one of the world’s leading centres of color science, the epsonr1900_1.jpgMunsell Color Science Laboratory of the Rochester Institute of Technology. In conjunction with the Micro Piezo™ print head the Epson LUT technology decides how much of each color is used to translate a RGB source file into a print. The mathematical algorithm effectively optimises color matching to ensure the printed image is consistent with the original photograph. The end result is prints with smooth gradations, reduced graininess, wide color gamut and low color inconstancy*; all of which combine to create clear and beautiful, Hi-Definition photographic images.

Other printing technologies in the Stylus Photo R1900 include Epson’s Variable-sized Droplet Technology. The smallest droplet of 1.5pl is used for areas where fine detail is required and bigger droplets where larger blocks of color are needed.

The flexibility of the Stylus Photo R1900 is further enhanced with its increased media support. It will print onto glossy, matte and fine art paper in cut-sheet and roll format. It prints directly onto printable CD’s and DVD’s. For printing photos without a computer epsonr1900_2.jpgphotographers can connect their digital camera or picture viewer using Pictbridge. The comprehensive software package includes Epson Print CD and Epson Creativity Suite including Epson Easy Photo Print, FileManager, Web to Page and Camera RAW Plug-in.

Mark Robinson, Senior Product Manager, Epson UK commented, “The new Epson Stylus Photo R1900 is a truly advanced printing system that is easy and fun to use. The extensive research and development required to develop Epson Micro Piezo inkjet printers and ink technologies is fully illustrated in the launch of the Stylus Photo R1900. The UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 Ink works in harmony with the Epson LUT technology and Epson paper to deliver outstanding photo quality for sale, for display and for archiving.”

Three types of anti-shake functions to suit any photography situation

  • Mechanical Shake Reduction
    The Shake Reduction (SR) mechanism is unique to PENTAX, and corrects camera shake when photographing still images by shifting the image sensor (CCD) horizontally and vertically in relation to the amount of shake that the high-accuracy gyro sensor detects. Shake Reduction technology used in PENTAX’s digital SLR cameras is applied to the Optio A40 for highly corrective effects that are equivalent to shutter speeds of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 stops.
  • Digital Shake Reduction
    Digital SR (Shake Reduction) mode automatically adjusts sensitivity, to an ultra-high sensitivity of ISO 3200 according to the brightness of the subject, and effectively reduces camera shake and subject blurring when photographing still images. With fast shutter speeds, photography with reduced blurring is available.
    *Recording size is fixed at 5M (2592×1944 pixels) when “Digital SR” is selected.
  • Movie Shake Reduction *
    The Movie SR function electronically reduces camera shake exclusively during the shooting of movies. This function uses software to effectively correct distortions in images caused by camera shake during the capturing of movies.
    *When using “Movie SR”, the field of view is narrower than during normal recording.

Pentax Optio A40 Digital Camera

Face Recognition AF&AE function that improves portrait photography
The Optio A40 is equipped with a Face Recognition AF&AE function* that automatically detects and focuses on faces. In addition, the Optio A40 also comes with new functions that apply face recognition technology, such as “Natural Skin Tone” mode, which smoothly captures skin texture based on the detected information, and “Half-length Portrait” mode,** which automatically takes a head and shoulders photograph of people recognized in photo frame. *This camera’s “Face Recognition AF&AE” function uses the Face Tracker face recognition technology from FotoNation.
**Recording size is fixed at 3M (2048×1536 pixels) when “Half-length Portrait” is selected.

New Dynamic Range Adjustment function captures a wider exposure range
The Optio A40 is newly equipped with a Dynamic Range Adjustment by correct tones for highlight or shadowed areas of a subject with significant differences in contrast. Even when photographing people with sun in the background, the new function highlights subjects and maintains background tones.

Bright and easy-to view LCD monitor
This LCD monitor is a high intensity type equipped with an LCD booster that adjusts the brightness of the screen even when viewed outdoors. The 2.5 inch size and high resolution of approximately 232,000 pixels makes it easy to confirm picture composition and focus quality. With a wide viewing angle, the screen may be viewed easily since there is little change in brightness and colors even when looking at the monitor diagonally.

3X optical zoom and 6X digital zoom for a maximum of 17.9X magnification
The Optio A40 features a 3X optical zoom lens with a focal range covering angles of view equivalent to those of a 37-111mm lens in 35mm format, which is ideal for a broad spectrum of subjects from landscapes to portraits. The zooming power increases to 17.9X zoom capability when combined with 6X digital zoom.
