Arca Swiss is now shipping a modified version of the VarioFinder for the Rm2D, RM3Di, and RL3D Cameras. The new version employs dual tracks on the front of the VarioFinder and new slotted masks that fit onto 2 brass levers that slide up and down for rise and fall and allow the mask to shift east and west for your shift views. This eliminates the clunkiness of the previous mask that utilized magnets to maintain the position for rise and fall trajectory but also necessitated flipping the mask over for shift views that were not guided in any way other than with your hand. This produced the potential for mis-alignment.
The new VarioFinder slotted tracks do a great job of eliminating this possibility of mis-alignment and greatly enhance the ease of use. We have these in stock and the lenses we have in inventory on our shelf (40HR, 43 Digitar, 70HR, 72 Digitar) include the new slotted mask.
