It is interesting that you mentioned the Orbix feature because I was impressed about it. Here is the text explaining the way it works...
Even at this stage in the digital revolution the camera manufacturers are almost ignoring -- the big gorilla --. An example is this camera. In the PDF brochure with all the photos they could think of there is none with the camera using a digital back ! I know that you can use one, but wouldn't it be good to have a field view camera designed from the ground up exclusively for a 6x45 Digital Back? ... even smaller ... with choice of one or double Orbix ...
)The ARCA-SWISS misura is fitted with
the revolutionary ARCA-SWISS Orbix® tilting
system. In contrast to the conventional way
of tilting a camera in segments, this new de-
sign conceptallows for the lens to remain in
its correct position whilst the camera is be-
ing tilted. This leads to the desired plane of
sharp focus and prevents blurring in the cor-
ners which form the diagonal of the image.
The tilting mechanism is integrated into
the lens standard at its base. Due to this
important innovation the Scheimpflug rule
is being accomplished more precisely than
ever before. The Orbix® Dynamic tilting con-
struction facilitates quick and efficient tilts
by hand. Five perceptible clicks inform the
photographer about the amplitude of the
tilt. Once the alignment has taken place,
it does not need to be locked into position
as the tilting mechanism is self arrestive.
GREAT camera. It is however a 4x5, so slightly larger than the 6x9 F classic version if you want it dedicated for digital, and the Misura has NO rear movements, only front, but that saves weight. At the end of the day, the ideal camera for digital might be the Arca 6x9 F metric with orbix ~ $4000 in the states.
