ARCA-SWISS Continues to Set Standards — Big and Small at Photokina 2012ARCA-SWISS goes big with the new RL3di digital and 4X5 film format camera but doesn’t forget the “little things” with its latest compact option — the new Rm3d factum, the world’s smallest technical camera with both tilt and shift. For more information contact Rod Klukas, US Representative, ARCA-SWISS, Inc. or your ARCA-SWISS dealer.
Rm3d factum - The world’s smallest technical camera with tilt and shift
ARCA-SWISS proudly introduces a new model to the R-camera line, the Rm3d factum. The new Rm3d factum is the logical offspring of ARCA-SWISS’ unmatched solution of combining a precise and highly exact focusing camera with a tilt mechanism.
ARCA-SWISS Rm3d factum is a combination of a new camera body and the current focus/tilt unit of the R-line. Photographers with Rm3di will be able to order the body separately (called Rm3d fac) and install their tilt/focus module (called tum module) into the Rm3d fac body for a smaller and lighter travel camera option.
The shift mechanism allows horizontal and/or vertical movements of +/- 15mm and tilt movements of +/-5°.
The new Rm3d factum, with its extraordinary compact design and unlimited functionality performs with the tightest requirements of on-location photography. The Rm3d factum has the same well-known ARCA-SWISS precision without compromise and the offered technical possibilities are equal to current R-line models.

Get a grip on Reality - ARCA-SWISS Rm2d
The camera for architectural, travel, portrait and landscape photography.
Functional and precise yet light, efficient and easy to handle.
ARCA-SWISS has expanded its R-line of precision medium format cameras with the ARCA-SWISS Rm2d, a smaller, lighter version. The Rm2d is the camera for high resolution hand held photography, both digital as well as analog.
This new camera’s features - its functionality and its extraordinary compactness and light weight - make it ideal for architectural and travel photography as well as photo journalism. It has the same clear design that won the Rm3d an acclaimed international design award. The positioning and design of the hand grips allow you to go swiftly from portrait to landscape format.
The Rm2d, like all of the ARCA-SWISS R cameras, has its own AIP (All In Plane) vertical shift in the focal plane. This means no absurd mounts are necessary for stitching. The manual horizontal shift of ± 15mm makes quick stitching possible: the vertical shift of +20/-10mm takes place micrometrically.
The line of lenses with ARCA-SWISS R mounts is available in focal lengths from 23mm-250mm. The precision of the focusing device allows for repeatable settings with 15 micron accuracy. Composing shots is easy with its zoom viewfinder system which can be used with various focal lengths. Its also displays the various shifts.
The camera is compatible with all leading digital and film backs. The R-line’s system compatibility ranges from the ARCA-SWISS R lens mount to the extensive assortment of ARCA-SWISS accessories.
Rm2d - weight: 700 gr. - handgrips: 3 types.- price: $4‘326

With the e-module Cloud, ARCA-SWISS has developed a world benchmark for measuring distances without the inherent danger of laser devices,and therefore presents no risk while photographing people.
The new measuring device is capable of measuring both short and long distances and is equally accurate in bright or dim light. Measuring through windows or in highly reflective surroundings will not hinder the efficiency of the e-module Cloud – in fact, the name of our product is meant to infer that even clouds can be measured properly. A digital display clearly reveals the distance and indicates four relevant f-stops for depth of field and, as a bonus, the e-module Cloud helps to level the camera. The ARCA-SWISS e-module Cloud is the perfect complement to the ARCA-SWISS e-module sonar.
The ARCA-SWISS RL3d has undergone a face-lift to become RL3di with added shift capabilities and a newly designed integration of the reversible focusing module.
The RL3di offers, as all R-Line cameras do, self-locking AIP (All in Plane) shift in the film plane, independent for x- and y-movements, and a tilt mechanism for the application of the Scheimpflug principle.
The precision of focusing is unparalleled and is coupled with an integrated electronic sensor, while continuing to use the same R-Line bayonet lens-mount. A real multi-format performer, the ARCA-SWISS RL3di works with all digital formats and film formats up to 4X5″ with ease.
Intelligently ergonomic, the ARCA-SWISS R-Line cameras exceed all known cameras in precision and functional possibilities.

monoball Z1g+
With the Monoball Z1g+, ARCA-SWISS has improved all aspects of the well-known ballhead Z1g. The new head incorporates an additional panning top above the ball and its weight is reduced significantly.
The Monoball Z1g+ guarantees a smooth, even movement and accurate positioning of the camera. The MRGC (Motion Related Gravity Control), a variable and bi-directional drag is independently operative on both axes and stabilized in all directions — with a horizontal movement the resulting friction remains constant, whereas with vertical movements the friction increases progressively.
monoball Z2+
Improved as well, the larger ballhead Monoball Z2+ is now equipped with a second panning top and additionally, its weight has been reduced considerably.
The Z2+ combines the advantages of a ballhead with the features of a multiaxial tripod head. The secret hides in a newly designed ball unit that allows individual and independent control of the x- and y-axis, with gravity compensation and separate locks. The upper knob locks the smaller ball in the x-axis (80°; 40°; -40°), whereas the lower knob is locking the bigger ball in the y-axis (140°; 90°; -50°).
The Monoball Z2+ sports two panning mechanisms — one at the base of the head, the other (a proper panning top for panoramic photography) is located above the ball, allowing perfect and level panoramic stitching.
Innovative and ready for all circumstances, the ARCA-SWISS monoball Z2+ is a clever synthesis of the ease of a ballhead and the exacting features of a three-way head.
