[Bart Langenaken]

Hi Scott,

I bought it with the telescopic rail not the folding version.

bart, glad to know they come that way... i was told otherwise!

does anyone know the part number for the bellows that comes with the misura? in the arca catalog (http://precisioncameraworks.com/Media/Syst.pdf) i can find one that looks close:

071030 - Wide Angle Bellows, 6x9 - 4x5, Conical, 24cm leather

BUT, according to the specs, they only cover 35mm - 210mm, and i thought the misura bellows would work with a 300mm lens.

thanks,
scott

Does anyone know if there is a brochure that covers the new line of Arca cameras? The one's pictured in Scott's link still shows the old product.

WRT my original question, for anyone interested, sk grimes can fashion an adaptor to use technika boards with the 110 front end. it will run $290.

Technika boards on Misura

When i go on a trip I take usualy my wooden Tachihara with me. so I have 8 lenses on smal Linhoff boards. for the sinar i use for those lenses an adaptor plate.

I would buy an Arca Swiss misura instantly but ! instaed off standardisation they desided to make an lens board that is slightly different than the Linhoff ones.

That there be no mistake I am not morning about buying seven new adapter plates for the lenses But then I have to remount my lenses every time I want too use them on an other camera! And that is out off the question.

So if they want to sell they cameras they have to adapt the Misura in such a way that we can easely swicht our lenses between all our camera's.

With the concept they will maybe sell more lens boards but les Camera's and that is a shame.

Patrick,
there is an adapter for using the Technika lens board on the 110mm AS frame. I got it from Ebay for about $60 if I remember well and I think it is AS original. Ask AS, they will tell you. Cheers!

Sorry Scott for mixing up your name... And yes, Francis, go and buy your Misura - with the 110mm Linhof adapter!

Just to add a detail - the adapter is very well done (in the true AS style) and not too much bigger than the Technika lensboard itself.
