good video, and this is how the flexbody worked, that is the functional sequence, with the knob having two positions (two shots)- one to close the shutter, the other to take the picture. The difference between the two was the flex had a macro bellows extension, and a shift function as well as this tilting capabillity; the ARCbody also has this tilting function, BUT no bellows, and this has special lenses more akin to LF copal shuttered lenses, and this is the only lenses it can have, as the mount is a unique bayonette style, NOT the v-system one (with the screwdriver lens cocking device); only the flexbody can take the c/cf/cfi lenses from the V-system.
Strange mini large format style set up. I would well prefer my Graflex Crown with the "23" roll film back. Much larger ground glass for easier viewing and the front standard probably easier to work with. Cool design though.
You have a flex body? That's how it works by bending the body so that the film and lens aren't parallel to each other you can focus up front and far away. It's just tricky to get it right
What a Unique and cool camera, Nice video.
WOW 😍🔥
such great video
Thanks!
So sick
Love the shots! 🔥🙌🏼
What a great video. Thank you fo that. That would be fun to play with with a digital back attached.
Muy bueno el video! Mucho esfuerzo para unos resultados realmente pobres. Quizá la próxima vez!!!
I'd never heard of this thing. Pretty damn cool!

Yeah, this camera is not super user-friendly but it's nice having a small body.
I just picked up one of these for my Hasselblad. How did you get foreground and background in focus while keeping the midground out of focus?

Funny camera i use a flexbody, seems to be the same concept
