Introducing the KST EyeScan
digital panoramic cameras to US, Canadian, and South American photographers
Three German and one Swiss company
produce most of the panoramic cameras available today. However these European
products are not as well known in America. Since FLAAR had an office for three
years in Zurich, eight years in Graz, Austria, and for a decade in Germany,
we are familar with these European panorama cameras. As part of our new philosophy
of showcasing a wider diversity of brands and models on our web site, we thought
it would be helpful for our readers in the US to learn about options from Europe.
After all, only a German product has the "Made in Germany" quality.
I have known the key person
at KST since the days that he was the top manager for another wide angle camera
manufacturer. I visited his impressive factory in Dresden, en route to see the
"Dresden Codex," one of the three remaining 12th century Maya books
from Mexico. Now Helfried Urban is the key person at KST, so you know you are
dealing with people with decades of experience in precision German optics and
camera design.
If you need scientific precision
you ought to consider the EyeScan M3 metric. If you are a sophisticated pro-sumer,
the EyeScan 624 would be an appropriate model. If you want mural sized prints,
the EyeScan MM1 might be your selection.
KST does occasionally exhibit at
American trade shows, so we will be updating this page as we acquire more experience
(and as we can obtain a demo model for use ourselves).
FLAAR is dedicated to helping promote
digital panoramic photography. We appreciate the availability of demo cameras
to allow us to carry on our archaeological photography as well as our project
of landcape photography in Guatemala.
Contact for KST is Helfried Urban, info@kst-dresden.de
