Has any of you guys used or tried an Artec or know of any sources/information from people who use it?
I wonder how good it works regarding tollerances and reliability of the movements etc.
I had one in my hand once but could not take any images with it.
While the Alpa SWA is maybe prettier I still believe in the end the Artec offers more (more movements, and the posibility to check focus atc. on the groundgrass with the sliding adapter) and prices of the Artec have come down as well.
The dowside I see is that the Artec is not made for handholding and its a little wider (not heavier though as far as I understand).
