Calumet Pioneers Own Brand Memory Cards For UK Photographers

Calumet has launched a groundbreaking ‘own brand’ memory card range targeting professional and serious amateur photographers across the UK.

The exclusive new ‘Prospec’ line of digital media offers 110X CompactFlash (CF) cards with capacities up to 8GB and 75X Secure Digital (SD) cards with capacities up to 2GB.

Guy Johnson, Calumet Photographic Product Manager commented: “This new line has already proved to be a winner for the group in the US and we are already experiencing substantial demand here.

The range starts at a very high speed of 110X which compares extremely favourably with speed ratings of competitive brands at our price point.”

He added: “These high capacity cards are designed for professional photographers and serious enthusiasts who shoot large files with DSLR cameras - and the range will evolve as demand grows. Prices start from just £29.99 including VAT for the Prospec 512MB 75X Secure Digital memory card.

They also ship with a lifetime hassle-free warranty (under normal user conditions) and can be used with compact digital cameras and other digital devices such as camcorders.”

The new 110X CF cards are available in 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB capacities. They are rated to perform in temperatures as low as -40˚F and as high as 185˚F and deliver data transfer speeds up to 16.6MB/sec.

The 75X SD cards are available in 512MB, 1GB and 2GB capacities and deliver data transfer speeds up to 25MB/sec. These cards are made for extreme conditions and rated to perform in temperatures as low as -13˚F and as high as 185˚F.

New additions to the Calumet tripod range

Four new tripods have been added to the Calumet solution – from just £54.95 including VAT.

Guy Johnson explained: “The new Calumet 7100 tripod is perfect for those shooting with a digital or 35 mm SLR in the field. It’s lightweight and compact and features a three way pan/tilt head.

The Calumet 7300 features four-section legs with convenient quick release leg locks for fast set-ups and three position leg-angle adjustments.

The 7500 is a mid-sized tripod providing solid camera support for all camera formats up to medium format for use in the studio or on location.

The new 7016 with its three-way pan/tilt head is designed specifically for still photographic applications and features individual forward and side tilt locks and pan-locking knob for precise camera-placement control.”
