In May this year we began seeking to purchase an Arca Swiss rm3di camera. I only write because you would not believe how protracted this has been. I made the money available, paid on the dot and waited. Camera body eventually emerged in October. I use a Sinar Emotion 75 back and was assured it would be simple to get an Arca Swiss adapter plate to fit the Sinar back. This has been a great holdup. There was no reply from Arca time and again just no response. As potential owner I urged my Sinar back be sent to Arca to allow them to makeup the adapter. Offer was refused like 3 months. I eventually had it sent irrespective and some weeks later a plate has arrived. It does fit, thank you Arca, but it does look like a prototype. Anything but your Arca Swiss finish and quality. But it does hold back on securely at last even if it looks amateur. Nevertheless the much promised e-Module is still to arrive. Requested months ago and promised too. Just will not get on the plane. Neither will Arca answer requests.
Does anyone else have trouble with communication or supply with/from Arca Swiss?
The back as it fits to the new adapter plate needs a cover cap. Arca have none and will not reply or comment.
The lens socket on camera body needs a cover cap. Apparently Arca have thought of this but not made one and will not communicate on the subject. I did get a single response from Rod Klukas end October re the lens cap, promising "more next week": Nothing. He will not reply either.

How is anyone else going buying rm3di?
