Lens
‍- Obviously all Mamiya RZ 67 lenses have a larger image circle than the 54x40.5 sensor, and the big benefit using ALPA Shift cameras is to be able to work on much more image circle than possible by mounting the digital back on the original Mamiya RZ 67 body. From the RZ67 lenses lineup, only the Z 75mm f/4 W is a shift lens. On the ALPA 12 STC it’s possible to work using XY axis with it.
The BALPRO bellow can extend almost three times maximum length of the Mamiya RZ 67 body bellow. On the ALPA cameras with or without movements, it’s easy to focus from infinity to macro without extension tubes.

With the 12 STC I’ve made a 3 stitched pictures panorama with the Mamiya M 50mm and one with the Mamiya Sekor Z 110mm. To see the gain in field of view, I have attached the central photo of the two lenses.
