Santa Fe, New Mexico (PRWEB) November 22, 2005
Farrell Fischoff Gallery is pleased to host a Holiday Group Show of new artworks by current gallery artists. The exhibition will run from December 9 – December 30, 2005 with an opening reception Friday, 9 December 2005 from 5:00 – 7:30 PM.
The exhibit will feature one or more works by each of the artists currently represented at Farrell Fischoff Gallery, which has grown to include 17 talented New Mexico artists. The artworks include monoprints, collages & drawings in addition to paintings and sculpture.
The most recent additions to the gallery are Arlene Becker, Stacy Brown, Ursula Freer, Bomi Parakh and Izabela Riano.
Becker, Freer and Parakh were first shown in the gallery during the Digital Art 4 invitational in June of this year, and the gallery continues to represent their digital artwork.
The newest artists to join the gallery this autumn are Stacy Brown and Izabela Riano.
Brown is a skilled & talented draftsperson and painter, whose sketches and oils are flawlessly executed with a wry humor and sensibility. Her large oil canvas, Melon/Oma, was widely admired during the September "Les Refusées" show at the gallery, and Farrell Fischoff is very pleased to now have some of her other works available for public viewing.
Riano is a youthful newcomer to Santa Fe who has been teaching printmaking at the College of Santa Fe. Her latest work (some of which was previously featured at a September 2005 Santa Fe Art Institute exhibit) include free-form monotypes on rice paper and paper rock sculptures.
In the Farrell Fischoff style, the contemporary, high-ceiling space will be curated with care and attention, exhibiting the gallery artists' provocative artworks at their most compelling.

New Canon SD880 Review
Canon SD880 Review
Conducting an extended Canon SD880 Review showed me how superior this digital camera is to other compact cameras. I have analyzed many other great Canon Powershot cameras and the Canon SD880 is similar to all of them. I always wanted to thoroughly perform a Canon SD880 Review and was delighted I finally was able to.
When I originally commenced my Canon SD880 Review I was looking for which camera worked the fastest, had a more suitable lens, and which one overall was easier to use.
I was able to conduct my Canon SD880 Review quite quickly using the attractive scroll wheel surrounding the central button. It seems Canon really listened to the public when assembling the SD880, the scroll wheel on the Canon SD880 has advanced very much compared to its earlier Canon predecessors. I wish other companies would conduct their own Canon SD880 Review and streamline their scroll wheels as well. Clearly the smarter choice in its class, the Canon SD880 is less costly than other higher model Canon compact cameras, while still equipped with a wider lens and larger LCD screen.
After looking at the more costly SD950 and G10, my Canon SD880 Review took an unexpected turn. I was surprised the SD880 held a larger 3 inch display opposed to the SD950 and G10. Also, being able to zoom as wide as 28mm made the SD880 the clear choice.
When conducting my Canon SD880 Review, the closest matchup was the Canon G10, the only other Canon with a comparable 28mm lens. The perfect competition in my Canon SD880 Review was the larger more expensive Canon G10. While the G10 performed extremely well, the SD880 operated much quicker and was overall easier to adjust. Although the exposure compensation on the SD880 was not as quick as the G10, the G10 did require using two hands.
Fitting easily in my pocket the SD880 was conveniently attainable whenever I needed it… I could never imagine wearing the huge G10 around my neck.
Lenses
The SD880 is one of the best compact zoom cameras I've ever used. It zooms at 4x, which is equivalent to 112mm. Even at it's widest zoom limits the SD880 has very limited distortion.
Image Quality
Accelerating ahead on the Canon SD880 Review, I decided to look at image quality. Having very little distortion at various zooms, the SD880 performed quite well compared to other compacts in its class. Color rendition was impeccable compared to other higher end cameras, this is something I did not expect.
LCD
The Anti-Reflective 3 inch LCD display was much more advanced than I had seen on any other compact camera. Vivid colors and clear menus made running the Canon SD880 Review much easier.
Efficiency
Before starting my Canon SD880 Review, I knew the SD880 was a camera not to be taken for granted. After basic testing I am highly impressed with its basic handling and performance. Fitting into any size pocket makes it a great all out mobile compact.
Battery Life
Battery life is really an important part about any compact, when running my Canon SD880 Review I was taking close to 500 pictures per day. Each night I was able to charge the battery in underneath 90 minutes.

Van Nuys, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2007
Schneider Optics, the well known lens and professional filter manufacturer, has introduced the Kino-Linear™ deployment mechanism for anamorphic lenses used in a wide range of installations.
The Kino-Linear is a motorized mechanism designed to automatically slide an anamorphic lens precisely into and out of position in the light path of a digital projector. Automatic deployment is accomplished by using a 12-volt trigger or contact closure. The Kino-Linear device is ideal for installations in screening rooms and corporate media centers, and also for home theatre owners interested in using an anamorphic lens to project superwide full-screen Cinemascope® images with 16:9 digital projectors. (Schneider offers the Cine-Digitar Anamorphic 1.33X Lens for superior home theatre Cinemascope® viewing.)
"The Kino-Linear is a rugged, compact and easy-to-operate system offering the traditional sliding mechanism functionality. Anamorphic lens users now have the option of two deployment mechanisms available from Schneider: the Kino-Linear and the Kino-Torsion," explained Schneider Optics CEO Dwight Lindsey. The Kino-Torsion lens deployment mechanism swings the anamorphic lens precisely into and out of position in a motion similar to the swing of a door.
The Kino-Linear features easy-to-use adjustments for displacement, pitch, yaw and roll, to enable precise lens alignment. Mounting plates for most popular projectors are available for table top, shelf or ceiling mount installation. Also available is a bracket adapter which allows the Kino-Linear to be attached to a ceiling mounted projector utilizing a Chief RPA mount with a PAN-2 Lens Support. Additional information on the Kino-Linear is available at www.schneideroptics.com, including a brief video showing the mechanism's operation, and a technical drawing of the unit.
Schneider Optics offers a line of five Cine-Digitar Anamorphic lenses, including the 1.33x, 1.42x, 1.5x, 1.79x and 1.9x. Schneider Cine-Digitar lenses set a new standard for superb lens performance in Digital Cinema and large-venue, high-brightness digital projection applications. They are designed and tested to be brighter, sharper and more uniform than any other lenses for digital projection. All Schneider lenses for digital projection systems are built to the same high standards that have made Schneider lenses for film projection world-renowned for superior sharpness, highly-efficient light transmission, low distortion, and faithful color rendition.
