Was just wondering the same thing. Every time I've raised tech cams, I've been advised towards Arca Swiss due to the on board T/S, and it's importance when using super high res backs. But, Alpa and Sinar P3 aside, everything has been a Cambo.Why no Arca Swiss images?
Just curious!

Q - who did the conversion for you and.. are they capable of accommodating an AFi back?Hasselblad ArcBody with 35mm, 45mm and 75mm Rodenstock lenses, Phase One IQ160 digital back. Camera body has rise and tilt.
The Arcbody came with the Rodenstock 45mm, if I remember correctly. The other Rodenstock lenses with special mounts were available as an additional purchase from Hasselblad. The back if presumable just a IQ160 in V mount. No conversions needed. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a way to mount the AFI back to the Arcbody. But I could be wrong. This is 20 year old Hasselblad hardware, not that there is anything wrong with that......Q - who did the conversion for you and.. are they capable of accommodating an AFi back?
The three lenses have helical focusing for the ArcBody.Q - who did the conversion for you and.. are they capable of accommodating an AFi back?
Can I just say that as someone that wishes to one day own a technical camera (in particular an Alpa), this image is both stunning and heartbreaking.I am addicted...

ALPA 12 STC w/ Schneider Digitar 36mm XL
ALPA 12 SWA w/ Schneider Digitar 47mm XL
The irrestible .The irresistible.....
I certainly understand the logic. With the back/body/plate combo you've also got a nice 'block' of camera that can fit in to a dedicated space in the bag too which makes for more efficient packing and potentially less movement compared to assigning a big enough space for the entire body with any lens.Graham, I have a grip, but I very much like the way everything fits in the bag without it and the viewfinder. I normally have the back mounted on the STC but no lens. Also it has been a very wet fall, and I go out in all sorts of weather. I worry a bit about screwing up the wood.
