Sinar Norma 1966 Price List

[Bernice Loui]

Or why I've been such an advocate of the Sinar system for SO long.

This must be tempered with the reality of the needs of many LF image makers of today, it has gone from majority studio 4x5 color transparency work to outdoor images in both color and B & W. This is likely what has driven the demand and market value of various LF cameras today.

Having been blessed with the opportunity to used many LF cameras, optics and more since the mid-1980's with the gift of being "coached" by more than a few working photographers and more. That plus the opportunity to have been doing film photography when it was at it's peak completely alters one's expectations of camera hardware, film, film processing and print making.

All of this is simply a means to an end which is the finished print... which does not care what kind of camera, lens, film, processing en-all that was used to make this print.

That said, using the proper tools to achieve that print goal can make all go just that much nicer and easier in many ways. Or in some cases, the capability of a camera system like Sinar allows images to be created that could not be done otherwise.. this is much about using ALL the tools to the best of their ability.

Thanks Bernice.

I have always said that (depending on the project) to a certain extent you take off in the direction that the tools take you. With time and useful experience you come to realize what extra bits you need to make it go smoother, faster, and better. Sinar Norma has done the pre-thinking to make the bits that help make things go more smoothly and allow you to concentrate more fully on the right brain stuff.

You can only fully realize this by going through it personally, not by reading it in an internet post.
