Arca F-Compact

Arca Swiss F-Line Compact Metric 6x9 Camera with Micrometric Orbix gearing and Fresnel viewing screen.

This compact and precise 6x9 view camera is perfect for Digital use, and it is fast becoming a favourite among pro photographers the world over. The fine geared movements are much smaller than with a 4x5 camera, and therefore much more suited to today's medium format full-frame CCD sensors e.g. Phase One digital backs.

The Orbix advantage
The Orbix's movements are perpendicular to the optical axis rather than the monorail. Focus adjustments therefore occur in the selected plane and are also easier to make. The Orbix produces absolutely yaw-free movements - an indispensable feature when shooting with digital cameras because of their small sensors. Another benefit is a marked increase in movement with short focal length lenses. The Orbix- system gives the user the ability to perform dynamic focus adjustments. Simply make manual adjustments in the optical axis until the desired focus is attained. Unlocking or locking of the mechanism is not required.

No Limits: the Arca Swiss camera system, with its standardised - and therefore interchangeable - components, gives the photographer all the options needed to match the equipment to any imaginable assignment.

ARCA-SWISS cameras grow and change to match the photographer's knowledge, experience and preferences. The camera does not dictate terms; rather, the photographer alone decides which components are required. Even in this age of electronic image capturing, advanced large format cameras with their range of movement are the only solution to many common technique problems. ARCA SWISS cameras offer perfectly designed, ergonomic controls to optimally adjust perspective and planes-of-focus quickly and precisely. The result: arresting images showing perfect perspective, a well-chosen plane of focus, clear details and rich colour and saturation. ARCA-SWISS F-Line cameras are market leaders as the most versatile image capturing devices available. Both camera lines consist of functionally optimized precision instruments. Their ergonomically inspired elegance is not only optically pleasing, but also offers the highest degree of ease-of-use. The step from commercial 6x7cm medium format to the large sheet-film formats of 5x7" or 8x10" is child's play: from the lightweight and universal F-Line, the compact F-Line C with its collapsible monorail, to the versatile and rugged M-Line - all yaw-free and modular.
