Comment on Arca Swiss Rm3d by john smith

thanks chris I have finally come to that conclusion.I think I’am going with the rm3dl 4×5
model because I have very good feeling we will see bigger sensor sizes coming in the
future,and thats going to be very soon just weeks away.I think we will see 4×5 sensor
in the near future to and the cost will not be more than what we see in p65.I just want to buy something that I don’t have to trade in in next few years as things progress in sensor
sizes John

That was actually no easy task, Peter. Mostly I stuck to the aisles, where there were the fewest people, to blend my layers. I spent several hours masking the whole thing.

Well done Christopher. That is amazing detail. How do you deal with the movement of people between shots in a stitched pano like this?

I love this.

Just caught a tranquil moment to check out your new stuff. My favorites are these two videos. This one and the one with Michael. Nothing against your real creations, these just make me smile.

Hope all is well.

Thanks, Chris – much appreciated.

I think I might go down this route when Arca are back from their summer vacation. I’ll report back with the results, in case it’s of interest to any your readers.

It’s been a while since I’ve been back to this thread and I can’t remember if I answered the last questions via email or not, so…..

Russ, if I didn’t answer this at the seminar… no problem focusing a 35mm on the Sliding backs, both Rotaslide and KG. I’m pretty sure anything wider than that will only work with the groundglass (removing the slider).

Martin, I don’t see why you couldn’t use a standard M carrier on the back, the rails and format frame are compatible. I believe the 70mm is the widest you can focus on the DSLR. Schneider’s retrofcous 28mm is rumored to work, tho.

HTH,

John, if I were in your shoes I would go for the R. It will certainly be more pricey with all the lenses but it, I feel, is much more suited to landscape work, especially with it’s focusing mechanism. What I’m really loving about it is that I can go back and forth between lenses with very little or no focus adjustment, that really speeds up shooting… and if you’re chasing the sun… well you know. The only downside is the extension tubes necessary for the long lenses. The 90mm and 150mm would be much more compact just on lens boards, but then the R is much more compact than the M2. The only other considerations are how much movement you expect to use (The M2 has considerably more) and whether you will ever need swing and tilt at the same time (M2 only).

I’am 62 years old and have to wear glasses,and have shot most of
my landscape images with 4×5 or 8×10 before buying p65.I’am now trying to
decide between the two arca swiss cameras,m2 or the rd3.I’ave shot 4×5 with
arca swiss metric 4×5.so what do you think would be best?I think the r3d for light
weight but the lens cost much more than the lens would cost for the m2.But maybe the
focusing would be better with r3d what do think? would use the new 43xl,and 70mm.90mm
and 150mm starting out thanks John
