The compact a very light Cambo Actus
view camera works on the optical bench principle. It was especially designed for mirrorless
digital cameras but also offers the possibility to use DSLR cameras as well as
Micro Fourthirds models.
With this view camera solution the Dutch
manufacturer offers tilt, shift as well as swing possibilities especially for
mirrorless cameras, making it possible to apply the Scheimpflug principle, the deliberate displacement of the plane of focus and to create selective
areas of unsharpness. The attached
cameras function as a digital back for the Cambo Actus.
The displacement of the shift function
offers 27 millimeter vertically and 40 millimeters while tilt movements are
available up to 22 degrees. In addition,
swing movements are available up to 360 degrees.
The choice of lenses is quite numerous.
Besides view camera lenses from various manufacturers with Copal shutters,
lenses from Hasselblad C, Leica M39, Mamiya RZ/RB and Mamiya 645 can also be
used. In addition lenses for mirrorless
cameras as well as Leica R and Nikon F lenses can be used. Other lens adapters are currently being
designed.
Another significant feature of the
camera is its size. With a length of 15
centimeters (6 inch) and a weight of 2 kilogramm (4 pounds 6 oz) this is one of
the most compact cameras of this type in the market.
The Cambo Actus is available for 1,499
euros, including the focusing rail, both front and rear standards, the bellows and the camera
adapter.
