Title: Arca-Swiss Rental
Post by: JonathanBenoit on March 09, 2010, 08:34:21 am
Is there anywhere in the US that rents either the M-Line 2 or Rm3d? I just made the switch to a MFDB and need an option for my architectural photography. I live in Massachusetts and it would be nice if there was someplace local, but it doesn't seem likely.
Thanks

Jonathan

while i consider the M line 2 to be an excellent bellow camera, i think that for wide angles and architecture photography, you'd better go with the RM3D.

Focusing with 35 and larger is really tricky with a ground glass !

I like a challenge. Either way, I still need to find a place that rents them. I don't think there is a place that has either one.

Jonathan,

We're up the ways a bit from the US, but we do rent the Arca Swiss M679 with an assortment of Rodenstock digital lenses and sliding backs.

We also have available the Cambo Wide DS with 35mm digitar
