Definitely the big weak point of the system on top of the limited shift; I really wished they followed through with the initial idea - at least this is what came through via the marketing - to provide for auto LCC via C1 for the XT lenses. Difficult to justify the premium just because of a lack of cable ... although it is nice to be able to correct the 32HR distortion with one click ... should give them pause to think if their own ambassador jumps ship though.

In the end the proof lies in the pudding and a full-blown system exit like this is a clear signal with the lack of tilt being a problem for a system positioned at the very, very top of the hill.

Irony would be complete if Paul Reiffer moves to Alpa too because of the lack of tilt.

I hear P1 is also sabotaging the replacement of the 23HR (there's a new design drawn up) because they don't see the market atm.

They should just allow Cambo to add the 40HR tilt mount to all lenses ...

Correct, as Jeff said, built-in Tilt for all lenses would be the main reason for the switch. However, to answer to Paul, I don't think that the lack of tilt on the XT is a problem for everyone, universally; for me and the kind of work I do, I thought I could live without it, but it turned out I am much happier working with the Rm3di. I still love the XT to bits, I think it's genius and I recommend it to everyone I believe might enjoy working with it; I still love and use my two Phase One IQ4 digital backs, and I am adding a XF with a 120 macro for other kind of work, so the love is still there :)

Hi Vieri, I am not sure the messaging system is working, so just in case I am going to post a message here.

if I had caught this earlier into your sale, we might have had an interesting kit swap. I’ve got a pretty fleshed out Rm3di setup.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I have never used one of these XT lenses. I'm on Rollei shutters and considering replacement as the inevitable failure is nonrecoverable. Can the XT lens be converted to R-mount? I suspect not, or you would simply do that.

I use mainly the monolith these days, but the Rm3Di occasionally. Great thing is I can move the R mount lenses onto the Monolith with a simple adapter board. For me, this flexibility is the major advantage of the Arca system and I would consider your 90 if it could be remounted in R. Sure would be great to run that lens on the view camera, from the IQ4 back/C1.
