2.12 Photography on Film 2.12.1 General The Sinar Artec HB-V camera can also be used to capture images on roll film.

Page 29: Swiveling Polarizing Filter
Polarizing filters can be especially useful for eliminating distracting reflections in outdoor photography. The Sinar Swiveling Circular Polarizing Filter can be mounted on the Sinar arTec camera by means of the optional Filter Rod Holder and a Filter Rod (also see chapter 4.4). This makes it possible very conveniently to swing the filter away from the lens or out of the light path at any time. -
