What model 4x5 Arca Swiss is this?

[8x10 Masterview]

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)

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).

(European arrogance I think).

Hey cool, you just insulted 731 million people in 50 countries. Isn't your name European?

[Patrick Dixon]

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

[Frank Petronio]

No, I only insulted the arrogant ones.

I should have just explained the owners are French.

lol

In france, there is a debate going on over who can declare themselves as being 'french'...


and along these lines some believe it won't be long until all residents are required to take a dna test, so they can say, 'will the real frenchmen stand up'.
