Lens Overview — Sinar 360mm f/6.8 MC
Key Features — Sinar 360mm f/6.8 MC
360mm Large Format Prime: Fixed telephoto focal length designed for large format workflows, delivering consistent optical performance without the compromises of a zoom design.
f/6.8 Maximum Aperture: A maximum aperture of f/6.8 is standard for large format telephoto optics, balancing lens size and weight with the image circle requirements of large format film or sensors.
Integrated DB Shutter: Built-in DB shutter allows direct in-lens exposure control, eliminating the need for a separate between-the-lens shutter in studio and controlled environments.
Lens Board Mount: Mounts via the standard Lens Board interface used across technical and view cameras, ensuring broad compatibility with large format systems.
Multi-Coated Optics: MC designation indicates multi-coated lens elements, reducing flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity.
Manual Focus Design: Focus is set manually using the camera's ground glass — standard practice in large format photography for precise compositional control.
