The new E-HS models are newly manufactured scan backs, with only the tri-linear CCD and the video PC board as recycled components from owners' upgraded units -- with the savings passed on to you. The E-HS models have all of the same features as the previous model 4000 and 6000 scan backs with the added speed of a USB-2 interface. Resolution settings are independent of ISO; the sensitivity range is 100 to 1600 ISO, adjustable in 1/10 f-stop increments; a dedicated hard drive for image storage; fast prescans generated in as little as 8 seconds; and both cameras include the company's highly-acclaimed ViewFinder™ camera control software.

Work with your existing 4x5 view camera and lenses, in the studio, on location, or on a copy stand. Focus and compose normally on the ground glass and insert the Better Light scan back just like a film holder. Use any continuous light source, including daylight, fluorescent, HID, HMI or tungsten; line-frequency flicker rejection even allows the use of standard magnetic-ballast fluorescent or HMI lights.

Adapters are available for the Mamiya RB or RZ-67 and Fuji GX680 medium-format camera systems.

As with all Better Light scan backs, the E-HS models are upgradeable to higher resolution models at any time in the future.
