ALPA of Switzerland - Manufacturers of remarkable cameras

Can a digital or film back be positioned both vertically and horizontally?

The interface of the ALPA camera system is square. Therefore all the backs can get attached in portrait or landscape position. This works with the ALPA/Linhof backs (6x7 and 6x9) which are directly adapted as well as with the Mamiya RB and Horseman/ArcaSwiss via the respective ALPA adapter and all the ALPA digital back adapters (Hasselblad V, H1/H2, Mamiaya 645 AFD/AFD II and Contax 645). The front element of the ALPA viewfinder is revolveable according to the back position.
