eStack is a modular camera system for automated focus shifting in professional studio and reproduction applications. This product line is designed for users who work with Sinar p3 and p2 view cameras, digital backs, or modern mirrorless systems and are looking for a precise solution for focus stacking. The focus is on controlled planes of sharpness, reproducible results, and workflow-oriented integration into existing Sinar systems.
The eStack solution combines the flexibility of a technical camera with motorized focus adjustment. This allows focus series to be captured efficiently without changing the perspective during the stacking process. Especially in product photography, reproduction, macro photography, and with technically demanding subjects, the system provides a precise foundation for images with a specifically defined depth of field.
- Automatic stacking for precise focus series with motorized control
- Compatible with Sinar p3, p2, and X in the Sinar system
- Connector for digital backs from Sinar, Hasselblad V/H, and Mamiya 645 AFD / Phase One
- Support for modern camera bodies via Sinar BALPRO adapter plates
- Minimum focus increment of 1/100 mm for finely graded sharpness transitions
- Suitable for Sinaron Digital lenses as well as select third-party lenses with an adapter
A key advantage of the eStack category lies in the combination of mechanical precision in camera adjustment and automated control. The focal length is stored in the system; the control unit then calculates the appropriate step sizes for the focus shift. This supports a structured workflow and can reduce the number of required exposures by up to 50% compared to fixed camera configurations.
Because the lens position remains fixed, the image perspective stays stable during stacking. Working at the lens’s ideal aperture avoids diffraction blur, and image sharpness can be specifically distributed across multiple planes. This makes eStack suitable for applications where technical accuracy and controlled image rendering are equally important.
The product line includes solutions for various system environments and thus supports a range of professional setups. Using compatible adapter plates, camera bodies such as Fujifilm GFX, Hasselblad X, Leica SL, Sony E-mount, Nikon Z, and Canon RF can be integrated into the workflow. This provides flexibility for hybrid studio environments and facilitates integration into existing production processes.
- Live View-based focus setting for precise control of the focus range
- Modular design with high compatibility within the Sinar system
- Protection of your investment through the integration of existing components and accessories
- For studio, reproduction, and macro photography with the highest demands
- Includes a control unit, slide, power supply, and carrying case
In terms of practical use, eStack is designed for a streamlined, professional workflow. The system comes with a stepper-motor-driven slide, control unit, connecting cables, power supply, and carrying case. A camera-side trigger cable may be required as an option, depending on the specific combination of back, camera body, and lens.
eStack is thus the ideal choice for users seeking a precise, modular, and technically transparent solution for focus stacking. The combination of a technical camera, digital connectivity, and automated focus shifting ensures reproducible results in demanding photographic applications.
