Hello ? ATIK

Hi Stefan,

Sorry, this must've slipped through the net!

I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what you mean? We are working with the KAF-16200 full frame sensor, and we'll announce full details as soon as it's passed all of our testing.

Hello,
I believed whether you offer 16200 soon in a camera. This would interest me very much!

Stefan

[Jo]

That's good to hear, it is something we've got in development so watch this space over the next couple of months!

I assume there will be more information like a demo and details / price at the ATT in Essen 21th of May?

Regards Dick

[Jo]

We're likely to have our prototype camera at ATT along with its provisional specifications, but we can't release a final recommended price until it's passed all its testing, and unfortunately that'll be after the show.

Rui and Vince will be on hand to talk about it all though!

Hello,
I am curious really very much. I have a CFF185 / 1260 mm APO, the KAF 16200 fits certainly for it.
This becomes a right weapon.

Stefan

Definitely, it's shaping up to be a great camera, the size of the sensor gives you so much flexibility.

Unfortunately we won't have a prototype available at ATT this weekend as it's busy being tweaked and improved in our labs, but Rui and Vince will be there to talk about it.

Hello Jo,

Any date set for the release of the KAF 16200 based camera?

Hi Peter,

We haven't got a concrete date set yet, but we're looking towards the later part of this year. We'll make sure it's worth waiting for!

Best,
Jo

Any update on specs ?
Wish list :

• 16.5mm backfocus (so i can take out my STF-8300M, throw it against the wall and pop in the new Atik w/ KAF-16200  ).
• High quality shutter (and very fast if possible).
• -40ºC 2 stage cooling
• M54 or M68 thread

[Jo]

Thanks for the input!

I'd have to double check how the thread and the backfocus are looking, but the shutter's working very well indeed and the cooling's looking like we can beat -40ºC - watch this space!

Jo

Thanks for the update.
As for the back focus this would be my "best case scenario"
For the thread, anything that is big enough to no have vignetting is fine .. as said, this is a wish list with "best case scenario" for me

Thanks

Also, #1 priority (for me), it must work with the X2 plugin for TheSkyX Pro on OS X
This is the main deciding factor when choosing a camera (and there is another brand I won't name from which I will never buy again even though they have support for OS X).
