What are the options for Arca-Swiss in Europe? I'm a newcomer to the system, and wanted to get hold of a spare couple of the small board-retaining clips (the grey half-circle parts that click into place, to retain lensboards, backs or bellows), and therefore contacted what I think is the main dealer in Europe (at least the only online presence I've found - I'd rather not unnecessarily name names).
They promised to get in touch with Arca-Swiss and get back to me, but never did.
I then tried to find some sort of email address for Arca-Swiss themselves, and found what seemed to be a company address in Switzerland, and wrote to them asking to buy some of these parts, but never received a reply there either.
These were meant as extra backup parts, so not really needed at the moment - I just saw someone else had this broken part problem, and thought the best way to avoid not being able to use the camera was to get some extras. So I gave up trying to get hold of these.
Now I'm intending to upgrade one of my front standards to the geared Micrometric Orbix system - and I just want to know which place is recommended?
And has anyone else had any help from anyone in Europe for Arca-Swiss? Ironically, it looks like the US is the best place for Switzerland-based Arca-Swiss. Or am I missing something?
