Sunday, 24 July 2005

NOW AVAILABLE for HIRE!

For the highest quality images , hire our HDW-750 with Canon HJ21x7.5 lens, or try the incredible P+S Technik Pro-35, the big brother of the Mini-35 and see how HD can benefit by using superspeed T*1.3 prime lenses. We have a range of primes from 8mm fishEye to 500mm telephoto mirror and the reduced depth of field coupled with the progressive film-look of the 25P camera makes for stunning images. Be AMAZED! ask to see some still images. We can mail them to you.

Call 01708-640312 to check availability.

(We also have recently added a 25-250mm cinematic ZOOM lens)

* * * NEWS FLASH * * * to get those great "Skater Dolly" type moves, we have now added an AXIS DOLLY to our inventory. Great for packshots and super smooth straight line and curved dolly moves. The Axis dolly is heavier duty than the Skater-Dolly, able to take a full size High-Def ( HD ) cinematic camera with Pro-35, prime lens, 19mm bars and a matte box. Whan used with the tripod extension and the double wheels, it can also be used as a ride-on dolly.
