ARCA-SWISS - 85 years of exceptional photography
ARCA-SWISS, pioneer company in high precision photography, celebrates today her 85th birthday. 2009, will be a rich and intensive year with a new serie of high precision professional cameras.
Today, we would suggest you to discover the exceptional Rm3dŽ which had achieved a great success at the last Photokina.
Rm3dŽ for high precision hand-held photography
ARCA-SWISS presents the Rm3dŽ, an innovative precision hand-held range finder camera.
The body, which is specifically designed for professional hand-held film based or digital photography, is equipped with vertical and horizontal shift systems and a tilting lens mount.
In particular, the Rm3dŽ has an auto-locking horizontal and vertical AIP (All In Plane) shift system on the film plane. The ARCA-SWISS R-series goes even further by also offering a front tilt system that allows the most efficient use of the available depth of field.
The Rm3dŽ can be equipped with a electronic module. The distance to the subject and the depth of field are measured and displayed digitally and include an electronic levelling aid, albeit a spirit level can also be used. This versatile camera can be used with a medium format digital or traditional film back of up to 6x9 cm either hand-held or with a tripod.
This new camera range has an ultra precise integrated focusing system, precise to 15 microns and an exclusive ARCA-SWISS bayonet lens mount. The wide diameter of the lens mount prevents all vignetting and flare. An extensive selection of high performance lenses are available for this camera. The new extremely bright and stray light free vario finder can cover focal lengths of 23 to 210 mm.
All controls are easily accessible and ergonomically efficient.
2009, under the ARCA-SWISS banner
Its functionalities and precision distinguish the R series from any other camera on the market. Photography enthusiasts will find that the Rm3dŽ is a solid, compact and light camera. It comes with either a medium format digital or film back and is ideal for location photography or studio work. Once again this year, ARCA-SWISS will surprise its audience by releasing a new range of innovative and high quality cameras for both professionals and consumers.
