F-universalis 4x5"

ARCA-SWISS view camera F-universalis combines extreme compactness with maximum precision.
The F-Universalis in the dslr version weighs only 1.2kg, in the version  4x5" 1,9kg / 4,2 Ibs.and is therefore suitable for both studio and outdoor photography. The short minimum extension allows the use of shortest focal lengths, which is especially advantageous for architectural photographers.

Constructed entirely of metal alloys, the F-universalis offers maximum robustness and precision and is compatible with the ARCA-SWISS camera system. The horizontal swivel of the lens standard is achieved by the patented orbix system, while the vertical swivel is in the axis of the optics, eliminating the need for focus adjustment when focusing.

The F-mf (medium format) is the second model in the Universalis series. It is designed for use with medium format rollfilmem or digital backs. These are connected to the rear format frame by means of an adapter plate corresponding to the connection of the back. The camera can be equipped with all wide-angle and normal bellows of the ARCA-SWISS camera system.

This version is a full 4x5" camera on which flat film cassettes or also roll film cassettes with 4x5" connection can be used
