The new Schneider-Kreuznach lenses with tilt and shift mechanism presented at the photokina in Cologne have won the photokina Star 2010. Every year, the specialist magazines Photopresse and Digit! confer the prize to the best new products at photokina. “We award the photokina Star during the exhibition to new and innovative products that deserve the attention of professional photographers. The photographers’ art is reflected in the fascinating images they create by controlling exposure, focus and perspective. Schneider-Kreuznach provides an outstanding range of high-quality tilt and shift lenses for digital compact and medium-format cameras to help them achieve this,” Roland Franken, Editor-in-Chief of digit!, gives the reasons for the award on presenting the Photokina Star.
Schneider-Kreuznach is currently presenting three new tilt/shift lenses for digital SLR cameras with full-frame image sensor at photokina: Super-Angulon 2.8/50 mm HM, Makro-Symmar 4.0/90 mm HM and APO-Digitar 5.6/120 mm HM Aspheric. “We are delighted that our new tilt/shift lenses are among the highlights at photokina 2010,” says Wolfgang Berger, head of Corporate Communications at Schneider-Kreuznach. Thanks to the extremely precise and stable mechanics of the lenses, they allow the photographer to consciously control and shift the focal plane, creating new opportunities for image composition. The combination of these robust mechanics and Schneider-Kreuznach’s characteristic high-resolution optics makes the three new lenses a universal tool for professional photographers and enthusiastic hobby photographers alike. Due to the large image circle of the lenses, they can be shifted by 12 mm and tilted by 8 degrees simultaneously. Both the tilt and shift mechanisms can be rotated by 360 degrees so that adjustments can be made in any direction and independently of each other.
