SINAR NORMA
Carl Hans Koch created the Sinar Norma view camera in 1947 from his garage in Switzerland. Norma does not represent a famous female or a family member but the German word for “normal.” It means “standard,” as in a basic view camera kit [source]. The Norma was in production until 1969. It is a simple, precise, elegant modular camera system that would become the worldwide benchmark for large-format monorail view camera systems. The Norma is my choice for studio work, even in the digital age. It was not always this way, as I have owned monorail cameras designed specifically for digital, but I love the classic design of the Norma and the Sinar P2. I may acquire a P2 someday, but until then, it is Norma for me.
