[LargeFormat] Sinar system.

[Les Newcomer]

When I was at RIT, we had Sinar Ps in all 24 studios, so I got to use them
quite often, but I've never owned one.

Ps and P2s CAN tilt and swing on the optical center of the lens, but the
lens MUST be mounted so that the nodal point is in the correct position.
This ususally involves a spacer of some sort between the lens board and the
lens. Out side of RIT where Sinar set the stuff up, I've never seen it done.

One of Sinar's (expired) patents was yaw free movement.  I always found when
I need it, I could tilt my Cambo on it's side and acheve the same thing.
