Winter 2004-5 - Karlu Photographic

Focusing racks
At close distances and high magnifications,
normal focusing on the lens
becomes redundant, and getting to the
precise focus point is made easy by the
use of a separate platform to slide the
whole camera/lens assembly backwards
and forwards.
Novoflex Castel-Mini
LOWER PRICE
Rack and pinion racks give the best feel
and control, without any hint of backlash,
to make focusing at high magnifications
easy, and the Castel-Mini is a compact
solution for 35mm and lighter medium
format cameras, and by means of a double
rack system achieves 135mm movement in
only 133mm of length. NVCM £89.00
Novoflex Castel-L
LOWER PRICE
Castel-L is the standard rack for all kinds of
camera, and has the MiniConnect quick
release system. Max movement is 140mm;
overall length 200mm. NVCL £125.00
Castel-Q is the same as the Castel-L but
with clamp lock for Q-plates. NVCQ £135.00
Manfrotto 454 Micro Positioning Plate
All-metal construction, to Manfrotto’s usual high
standards, this uses a worm drive to allow fine focus
over 120mm of travel. Not quite as elegant as a rack
and pinion, but effective. A spring-loaded lever
allows rough setting of the camera position,
and the plate can be locked solid. 1/4”
camera screw; 1/4” and 3/8” tripod
fittings. MA454 £54.95

MiniConnect system (like the Castel-L
below left). Either type £239.00

NEW Novoflex VR-System
For a perfect panoramic shot without
perspective offset it is essential that the
axis of rotation is on the nodal point of
the lens. The system consists of base,
rack, L bracket and spirit level, and allows
portrait or landscape shots to be
acheived. Maximum axial travel is 125mm.
