"no official information yet, I suppose a new website is still not a priority for A-S;-)"

On the last Photokina Urs told me he has seen an early version of the AS-website! Swiss humour, I guess  ;D

Interesting, a new ULF-camera!

Web and marketing have never been a strength of Arca Swiss. Fortunately for them they are REALLY good at making cameras :-).

But yes this is official. We don't have much more information than the PDF right now, but will be adding as we get info to our blog post for the Arca Swiss Factum (https://digitaltransitions.com/blog/dt-blog/arca-swiss) and Arca Swiss RL3Di (https://digitaltransitions.com/blog/dt-blog/arca-swiss).

I've gotten some vital clarifications direct from Arca Swiss and am updating our blog now. Some things were initially lost in translation (literally).

Basically the "tum" is the tilt-swing module from any current RM3Di and any (just announced) RL3Di. This is added to a "fac" body to create a "factum" - a very compact body body with rise (or shift) and tilt (or swing) on every lens.

Still confused? Read the blog I linked to earlier.
