Arca Swiss 8x10 camera

By Michael M.

Give a five star, the best 8x10 camera to buy. All movement is precise geared. Excellent choice for fine art photography work.

The Arca Swiss F-metric field C 4x5 is particularly compact and therefore ideal for travel and architectural photography.

"Field" means that the front frame is built in 6x9 to be even more compact and save weight. Since the rear standard is 4x5", the "field" version comes with conical bellows.

"C" stands for the foldable bench that can be folded for transport.

Orbix Micrometric Tilt
With the orbix option it is possible to retrofit existing F and M Line models without orbix function.

All you need to do is send in the front frame of your camera.

With the orbix function it is possible to tilt the lens in the central axis, so that the pendulum movement takes place in the optical axis and not in the rail plane. This enables the correct adjustment of the focal plane. You also gain further latitude, especially with short focal lengths.

There are two versions of the Orbix function. With the Orbix dynamic you push the frame manually to the desired position, it remains in this position due to the self-locking mechanism.

A 5 Degree grid helps you to do this. With the Orbix micrometric, the adjustment is done with the help of a gear screw, which makes the adjustment even more precise.
