The M-Line two has been reduced to the essentials and can be easily customized. This offers a number of advantages: more efficient design and a lightweight camera weighing barely over 2kg/4.4 lbs. and is simple to use thanks to individual movements.
On the Monolith system, tilt/swing and shift are incorporated onto a singlestandard. On the M-Line two, they have been separated: shift on the rear standard and tilt/swing on the front.
This offers the advantage of being able to maintain the same angle of view because the shift is positioned at the rear. Shift is often used today in digital photography to increase the angle of view and enhance definition. By removing tilt/swing from the rear standard, the probability of error is removed and a parallel film plane – essential for digital photography – is guaranteed.
The use of an extension rail and bellows allows a variable scale of reproduction making it possible to photograph a postage stamp or a wide landscape using the same configuration.
The camera is equipped with ARCA-SWISS® patented Orbix tilt system, the only device that allows you to maintain full control over the plane of focus.
When used with a DSLR camera or a digital back, this new precision system enables you to take images of buildings, landscapes or objects with precision control. It’s ideal for landscapes to macros.
The M-Line two is part of one of the largest photographic systems currently available and is compatible with many DSLR cameras. The focal lengths range of the M-Line Two extends from 28mmto 180mm. The camera accessories change your M-Line Two into a 6x9cm medium format or a 4x5’’ camera. ARCA-SWISS M-Line Two is part of the most extensive camera systems.
