Canon's Concertina

Canon's Concertina OpTex now offers a concertina-style shuttered eyepiece for use with the Canon XL-1 Due to its viewfinder's construction, the camera's LCD screen must not be pointed at direct sunlight or any point source as it may become damaged. To alleviate this possibility, the eyepiece functions to open only when the user's eye is pressed against it and closes immediately upon release.

OpTex (973) 335-4460, fax (973) 335-4560.



Metal-Halide Lamp

Metal-Halide Lamp ILC Technology, Inc. has developed the Daymax DT1405W/24, a 400-watt metal-halide lamp with a 1,500-hour lifetime. The lamp's bulb is precisely aligned in a ceramic reflector. Its 4mm arc gap and 5600�K color temperature are ideal for applications that require high efficacy and high luminance.
