When I was in the process of buying a technical camera, I just couldn't get any accurate product information from Fotocare. I relied on an individual from Alpa who was based in Europe and who was representing them on this forum and who no longer works for them.
I found Doug Peterson, who at the time worked for CI and he was a very responsive source of information; culminating in my purchase of an ARCA SWISS RM3Di.
The Arca was less expensive; allowed tilt on every lens, used the same lenses as ALPA (Schneider and Rodenstock) and offered knowledgeable service. Later I discovered Rod Klucas (the US representative for Arca Swiss) who answers the phone immediately when I have a question and who is an oracle on Arca Swiss products.
Subsequently I have purchased five lenses from CI (32 Rodie, 46 Schneider, 72 Schneider, 120 Schneider, and 210 Schneider).
My Hasselblad dealer tells me that I am anal regarding my desire for the ultimate in detail in my images, and I think he is correct.
I can't describe how much I enjoy working with this wonderful gear!
