I don't think the Cambos are really less accurate (they are manufacturing the cameras within tolerances of 1/100mm... and so Alpa, Sinar, Arca... do AFAIK). But the materials Cambo is using feel less valuable (and maybe they are). The actual body, the screws... all that feels much better on an Alpa or the arTec than on a Cambo. Than again, it's just a camera to put your digi back on and as long as it "delivers" that's not so important. Well, at least not to me...

Yes the difference between the Cambo and Alpa isn't that big as I thought. (I had 15 vs 20 to the side in mind but it is 18 vs 20)
I'll try again both cameras early next year and see what I'll get. Perhaps I'll even get to try the arca. I just have to keep on mind, that the ALPA system is certainly more expensive, compared to the cambo. Quite bit more. Does somebody know what the actually difference between the Rm3d and RL3D is ? Besides larger movements. Price difference ?

Bob, I guess there is some other reason why the shutter releases are gold plated. Below zero degrees and your skin adheres to most metals, except G:bugeyes:LD.
the RM3D can be used with 6x9 also !
Done ! I've bought the RM3D... the RL3D was too big for me !
My final choice considering lenses was to have my existing 35XL, 45 sironar digital and 90 sironar digital mounted to start.
the 45 and 90 offers both a large image circle that will cover my stitching needs with my aptus 22 and fat pixels !
i could have wait for the next 43 digitar, but for economical reason, and due to the fact that my current back is only 22Mp, i went for the 45.
I had to buy a need roll film back adaptor because they change the focus plane position... they call it N type.
at least, no more trouble with wide angles !
it cost a lot, but this is the most versatile camera from the bunch of technical cameras.
the only thing i don't like is the fact that the rotaslide isn't easy to pack !
