This is a shift and tilt camera with 28 mm shift and ±15 degree tilt range, perfect for architectural and landscape photography. The ArcBody’s solid design makes it very easy to use. The shift and tilt controls are easy to operate and feature locking function with one movement. The perspective control is very useful when photographing tall buildings or trees, for example. The camera must be pointed upwards which results converging vertical lines. Using the ArcBody, you can level the camera and compose your picture and move the image by shifting until you see the part of the building or tree on the focusing screen. The verticals will remain parallel to each other. The 28 mm shift facility will allow you to move the image as much as half an image height. The ArcBody is all mechanical medium format camera with a shiftable and tiltable rear standard with manually operated shutter winding and film transport. TTL spot metering, centerweighted TTL integral metering or incident light metering with optional Hasselblad meter prism viewfinders. Different Hasselblad film magazines for 6x6 cm and 6x4.5 cm, 120 and 220 rollfilm, 70 mm perforated long rolls and Polaroid film can be used. Three Rodenstock lenses are made for the ArcBody, Apo-Grandagon 4.5/35mm, Apo-Grandagon 4.5/45mm, and Grandagon-N 4.5/75 mm. Lens shutter speeds range from 1 to 1/500 sec, B and T. Flash sync up to 1/500 sec. The camera is also sold in a kit consisting of ArcBody with Rodenstock Apo-Grandagon 4.5/45 mm, center filter, and reflex viewfinder.

The Hasselblad FIexBody is a mechanical body with adjustment of tilt with ±28 degrees, shift +/-14mm, and extension.
