The TC and STC are 20mm wide, not counting any accessories like handles, viewfinders, etc.

Alpa TC (http://www.alpa.ch/en/products/cameras/camera-bodies/alpa-12-tc.html)

The SWA is 47mm

The distance from the lens mounting plate to the back adapter mount is less, more like 12 or 13mm.  I don't have calipers at home so not sure what the exact gap is.

Thanks for the Info Dave, it sounds like the lens mounts are tailored to each model
of camera?. I am considering manufacturing my own body .. which might be fun !
