Switching to a digital workflow is sometimes a complex process. Here our (so far) 12 golden rules to the digital path - or what is worth considering.

Adjustable back adapters (max. 3/10 mm, adjustable in single steps right down to 1/100 mm) with reuseable shims of various thickness are exclusive to ALPA.
