Architec camera is designed to fulfill special requirements. When photographing
buildings it is often necessary to use wide angle lens along with raising
the front. Because of the short extension the bellows might limit this
movement many times. This problem is solved by using architec type that
is manufactured in 4x5 inch format. This camera makes it possible to lift
the lens by 40 mm even at the shortest extension.
Architec is a non-foldable camera, since there is nothing on it to fold.
In spite of this it takes very little room. This camera is a good starting
point for those customers, who want to photograph with digital back and
with lenses having comparatively short focal length.
Focusing is done by rack and pinion drive. Lens board is compatible to
Linhof Technik boards.
4x5 inch back type 1 is usable with the camera, where the ground glass has to be removed before inserting the film holder. The back can be made compatible to Graflock system roll film holders of different manufacturers, and an adapter also might be used to mount digital backs.
