JTec Press Release

JTec announces the introduction of three precision machined components for the Sony NEX-5.

First, and foremost, is a cold shoe adapter for mounting an optical viewfinder of your choice.  Now, you can use your favorite prime lens (with appropriate adapter) and an optical viewfinder, allowing the quick framing required in capturing event or street scenes.  No longer do you have to hold the camera at arms length to frame a scene.  The camera is at your eye, promoting a steadier and more accurately framed shot.  The phrase “f8 and be there” is now a reality with our cold shoe adapter.

In order to take best advantage of the capabilities of the NEX-5, especially the Sweep Panorama mode, JTec is also introducing two ways to to attach the camera to a tripod:  a simple camera plate and an L-bracket. 

The plate and L-bracket allow the camera to be mounted to any Arca Swiss style tripod head, and makes convenient landscape panoramas possible.

The L-bracket also allows the panorama to be taken in portrait orientation, and gives you the option to tripod mount your camera for taking high quality portraits.  Enclosed is a Product Sheet.  Full details are available at http://jtec-online.com/.
