This permitted rapid and precise settings without losing sharpness on the axis. The P series also introduced features such as self-arresting rack and pinion gearing and a precision-engineered quick format change system that allows the photographer to switch between 4x5/5x7/8x10 formats quickly without having to fully disassemble the rear standard. This was accomplished by using a common rear standard bearer and unlocking a single knob to switch among the various format frames. Another new feature implemented in the P series was the Sinar system of calculating swings and tilts as well as the Sinar depth of field calculator. A key feature of the Sinar P system, particularly in scientific and industrial photography, is the precise machine tolerances that are part of the fittings and movements. Products large format view cameras, lenses, digital backs, RAW Processing Software Sinar Photography AG is a Swiss company based in Zurich manufacturing specialized high-resolution view cameras for studio, reproduction, landscape and architecture photography. Sinar's view-cameras allow both the lens and the film back or sensor back to move in rotation or linearly in any direction (up/down, left/right, front back linearly, and pitch yaw tilt rotations), allowing precise image alignment corrections. The cameras are often used in advertising, document reproduction, product and architectural photography, where correcting vertical image lines, fine focus accuracy, and extra details are wanted. The name SINAR is as explained by the company as: "Still, Industrial, Nature, Architectural and Reproduction photography." The camera is in excellent condition. I used the camera for photographing fine art and architectural photography. This is the Patek Phillipe of photography.
