Hey guys,
Almost a year I think since I last shot a sheet of film, but looking in the house I have about 30 boxes unexposed, a polaroid with a 127mm and £150 spare.
So hey ho I ordered an arca swiss Pro 1 today, which at least lets me back in the game.
I was wondering if anyone could help out with a couple of questions about it.
A: can anyone send me a picture of one? there are so many 'arca pro' denotations that I'm a bit confused as to what I bought.
B: If the pictures aren't flooding in, practically what are the chances of backpacking this? With the 127mm I think I can probably loose some of the rail length etc ... (don't kill me for saying this) and lockup the rear standard a wee bit and replace handles with nylock nuts to reduce size.
C: Will the 127mm rodenstock give any movements at all? or am I pretty much at a wee bit of tilt and a wee bit of swing for options. Also will the standard bellows allow infinity?
Great to be back and looking forward to the answers.. Just hope the delivery comes as planned tomorrow :)
