GERMANY ISSUE 126 Sep 2008

Knackscharf (German for pin-sharp) is Hamburg's newest equipment rental studio.

All the usual suspects are present when it comes to lighting and camera gear. Furthermore, Mac-based digital workstations loaded with all the essential programs are also available to rent.

Special items, such as accumulator-based power supplies that make loud generators obsolete, are Knackscharf's speciality. All equipment comes in custom-made flight cases which cater for the special needs of travelling photographers, ensuring equipment arrives safely whether for productions in Hamburg or on the other side of the world.

Be sure to speak to the company when planning a production. All team members have years of industry experience and are adept at coming up with the right idea.
