    What model 4x5 Arca Swiss is this?

    I would've posted a pic but apparently e-Bay has made it impossible to copy some pictures. I won this camera while stupidly failing to ask any questions about it. Any information about this 4x5 Arca Swiss would be appreciated. e-Bay item # 230426604955

    I think you did really well-

    I used a camera like this in the late seventies, in college-
    we had a choice of a sinar or an arca, and I always picked the arca-

    I think you have a 'C' model, 'C' standing for centre tilt,
    but better information will be along shortly-

    It's an Arca Model C with axis tilt. These seem to be called 'Pro' as well, but I'm not sure if that means anything.

    Looks like a good buy.

    If you do a search on here, you'll find some other threads with info.

    My mistake again--I should have done a search first. I found plenty of information regarding this Arca Swiss. Thanks for the input however, it's appreciated.........

    If it's an axis-tilt it's a Model A.. . the same I have. The B is base-tilt and the C is combination (axis and base)
    Are we truly creative, or simply too lethargic to become pedestrian?

    www.precisioncameraworks.com has a lot of Arca-Swiss info (and they service them, great people), since Arca-Swiss itself won't do a proper website for some strange reason (European arrogance I think).

    There is nothing wrong with being arrogant - so long as it's deserved.

    No, I only insulted the arrogant ones.

    I should have just explained the owners are French.

    Well, that statement could have been correct if you had written "arrogant Europeans", since we all know that you were referring to Arca Swiss management, and not all Europeans.

    I should have just explained the owners are French.
    Wow, it only gets better.
