The Hasselblad V series had the Arcbody and the Flexbody. Rollieflex had the SL66, and I'm sure there were others I do not know about. The Alpa series has a component you can buy that adds 12mm of tilt, but it only works on lenses of 80mm or more and only on their "short barrel" series. The Alpa is considered a "technical" camera. All components are interchangable. There are bodies with no shift, only shift (or rise/fall if you turn it 90 degrees), both shift and rise/fall and they all take the tilt addition. The choices can be quite overwhelming when you go to their site: http://www.alpa.ch It's REALLY a lot of fun!!
