Lenses for Arca-Swiss
X-SHUTTER
Developed by Phase One Industrial, the X-Shutter is a robust electronic leaf shutter designed for durability and reliability, and is rated for over 500,000 shutter actuations. The X-Shutter features a sturdy housing and can be used as a replacement for Copal 0 leaf shutters. It is available when ordered with a new Rodenstock lens and can also be retrofitted to a selection of existing lenses from Rodenstock or Schneider.
The X-Shutter provides strobe syncing for high shutter speeds to 1/1000, lens metadata transfer to the IQ4 150, and additional features of the IQ4, such as auto bracketing, 1/3 stop aperture increments, aperture or shutter priority modes, opening the lens for live view and more.
The X-Shutter is powered and controlled directly by the Phase One IQ4 150 digital back, eliminating the need for an external power source. When using X-Shutter on ARCA-SWISS cameras, a 12 pin to 12 pin cable is required to provide communication and power between the shutter housing and the digital back, allowing the shutter speed and aperture to be controlled from the IQ4.
The X-Shutter is specifically designed to be compatible with Phase One IQ4 digital backs or newer. If you are looking for a lens that supports the X-Shutter or want to convert an existing lens to X-Shutter on ARCA-SWISS cameras, please refer to the accompanying documentation below. Depending on the type of camera used, X-Shutter lenses can be mounted to an R-bayonet mount for R-Line technical cameras or to a flat lens board for M-Line or F-Line view cameras.

Converting a lens to X-Shutter
ARCA-SWISS offers lens conversions to X-Shutter. All conversions are delivered with a Phase One IQ4 to X-Shutter 500 mm cable. However, for certain view camera applications or when using long lenses, the provided cable might be too short. In such cases, we recommend the longer 800 mm cable. Please keep this in mind when placing an order for a new or retrofitted lens with X-Shutter.
To ensure a smooth process, your lens will be shipped to ARCA-SWISS USA and then transferred to ARCA-SWISS International in Besançon, France for the service. Please contact us to coordinate a schedule and receive shipment details.
The estimated service time is 4-6 weeks. However, if a lens requires conversion to an R-bayonet mount or needs additional optical service, extra time may be needed.
The Rodenstock HR Digaron SW 138mm float lens is available in the X-Shutter configuration when ordered as a new lens. However, existing 138mm lenses cannot be converted to X-Shutter.
