Peter,I share your frustration too.Some 4 weeks ago I also requested a catalogue from Arca-Swiss and still nothing has materialised.I should also add that I reside in Switzerland!I don't know what the problem is but I have given up any hope of getting it in this millenium!

You might want to e-mail Arca-Swiss: customer service/Kurt. I just received a note from him that a new printed catalog is due out in about 4 weeks, but I opted for the new catalog PDF version expected to be available in 7-10 days. The B&H catalog is pretty good at listing the equipment, but poor on explaining how the various systems function.

Hi Kevin...thanks for sharing that bit. I still haven't received anything from them. Last week, customer service from Arca Swiss did send me an email asking if I had received their mail...I replied saying no...and they remained silent.In the intervening weeks between the last Arca request and now, I have requested for and received catalogs from Silverstri, Ries, Darkroom Innovations, Calumet, Rodenstock and Schneider.

At the risk of making the most boring post ever, I would like to vent my frustration as well as say that all my attempts to contact Arca Swiss so far to obtain their catalog resulted in nothing.I can not believe that people who put such great effort into making absolutely wonderful equipment make so little effort to help sell it.

I received an e-mail from Martin Vogt at the Arca factory about three weeks ago. The factory is in the midst of moving to a new facility. Since the Arca staff is very small, about +/-25 people, some stuff is obviously falling between the cracks.

Whatever their problems with the mail might be, their cameras are more than worth the wait. Be patient. SB

I received the compressed PDF file today. It seems most of you folks in this thread have received the file. Yes, finally!
