Since 2002 P+S TECHNIK offers the PRO35 Image Converter,
and over the past years the device
became a well-known and regularly use tool for DoPs and professional
videographers. The spread of High Definition Television (HDTV) and
so of a high resolution video standard turns digital film production
for the big screen into a more and more widely accepted workflow.
With the PRO35 you can work with the lenses, accessories and the
depth of focus you know from cine film productions.

User Quote
"I chose to purchase the PRO35 because
I didn’t want to risk not having the best
possible image quality. I’ve tested
other converters and read their reviews
and realized that functionality and ease
of use was also very important to me.
The PRO35 on the EX3 is in my opinion
the best of the best. Brightness and
sharpness is consistent throughout the
image field. In regards to form and
function, everything about the operation
of the PRO35 is professional."
Steven Holloway, DoP
"I had the pleasure of using a HPX last week [Panasonic AG-HPX500] for 2 TV commercials with the PRO35 adapter. I have to say that this setup is pretty darn solid. This is a REALLY nice camera for the money and the adapter is EDGE to EDGE sharp unlike the lesser units on the market. Remarkable quality of image from the entire setup."

Details
Get the dimensional quality of 35mm film by using an HD or SD video camera with the PRO35 Image Converter. Hundreds of lens choices, formerly restricted to the realm of 35 mm film, are now available for video productions.
The Image Converter resolves the 35mm image from the lens onto a ground glass located at the position of the traditional film plane. The image is then optically frozen, down-scaled and transmitted to the camera's CCDs or CMOS. You can use the converter relay lens' own iris or the camera's iris to control the amount of light coming through the system without affecting the depth-of-field. This gives you new creative freedom, unknown before on digital cameras.
