Trying to get some information related to the R-line system (RM3Di). Unfortunately, There is no shop over here, where I could try out the system. The nearest one is Arca-shop.de, but there is some communication problem. They do not reply my e-mails. The video from Rod Klukas is very good.
Arca-Swiss Rm3di Introduction Video
I have found some more videos in French, which is problem for me. (Bad English, no French)
So I have several questions for experienced users from the great community of medium format exquisite photographers here and particularly of this system.
I have decided to use the system DB, probably Leaf with the sensor 48x36. I will use the system 95% for landscape scenes.
Which lenses would you recommend for wide angle, standard and sort of tele shot?
+ I am perplexed how to calculate the focus regarding 36 x 24 (?)
Here is the French video. Some translation to English would be appreciated
Mise au point manuelle sur l'Arca Swiss Rm3d - YouTube
There's 5 colour strips on each lens where one strip corresponds to one revolution of the helicoidal focus. The helicoidal focus has marks 0,3 to 33.
1. What do the marks mean in relation to the particular coloured strips?
2. What focal lengths are represented with each colour strip? Rod Klukas in video says (if I understood well) that the white one, for example, is used for more distant objects.
3. What does he mean - distant objects (infinity) ?
4. For what distances are the other strips specified?
5. What do you use most for the distant object measuring? (Disto 5?)
6. For what size of sensor the standard lens delivery includes the tubus, the mask and the distance table?
7.What is the availability of E-module and E-module cloud? (does it use anybody?)
8. Is there any iPhone holder for R-line and any imaging application for particular lenses?
9. Is there any iPhone app which at some focused distance shows focal depth - DOF for the given system?
Excuse my perhaps trivial questions but I am trying to learn the focusing system, focused distance determination and to use of the best available method using DB.
Every help would be appreciated.
