P+S Technik Have Revised Mini35 and Pro35
 

Every now and then I receive a circulared email newsletter from P+S Technik.

Their latest advises of a new Mini35 version called the "Compact" and a highlighted feature is improved brightness. The Pro35 becomes a version 2. They also now offer a Mini35 for Sony V1/FX7 series and a relay lens version for 1/2" CCD.

Whilst the claim has not been made, generally, a brighter image corresponds with improved image sharpness, contrast and definition. It will be interesting to see if they have been able to maintain a good emulation of film bokeh effect.

They may well have trodden this course on their own as normal product improvement, in response to the demands of high definition but maybe, just maybe, they have raised the bar for alternative adaptors because these are now looking over the shoulder. Then again I could be just kidding myself.

I hope to kick the tyres and look under the hood if I am allowed to in June.

Interesting, too bad there is not too much info on pricing, test shots etc.
Also they don't say how much improvement is going to be, over older models,
curious. That's what typical to P+S, you have to do a lot a homework to fing out things.

Brighter image because it does not use a prism and primary use is for HDV cameras with built in flip (ie newer JVC cams).

frustrating
 

Yep, its extremely frustrating the lack of info and especially on pricing. Any idea on the compact $$?
