SinarP2 and Sinar x

The p2 is based on asymmetric tilts and swings, traditional center or base tilts. This means rapid and precise settings, without ever losing sharpness on the axis. You can calculate exact swings and tilts in seconds using the asymmetric movements and measuring scales. You wont have to guess at your movements anymore, and it is very fast, and feature zero detents. Once a movement is set, it stays. You get easy one-hand operation. Depth of field calculator tells you exactly how much depth of field you need for your image. Yaw-free design lets you combine swings and tilts with no time-consuming readjustments. Metering back allows you to use film plane metering probes. Format change capability lets you switch between 4x5, 5x7, 8x10 backs, as well as digital adapters. The Sinar x has most of the Sinar p2 features but at much lower cost. The x still delivers all the speed and ease of use of the p2's geared movements, swing and tilt calculation.
