A full system of movements offers extensive control over perspective and focusing settings. Geared on-axis tilt and swing movements are performed on the front standard and the rear standard permits geared rise/fall movements and quick slide shift movements:

The swing and tilt movements of the front standard rotate about the optical axis in order to avoid having to re-compose or re-focus after each movement is applied.

Additionally, besides the standard included bellows and monorail, a variety of optional bellows and monorails are available for wide-angle and close-focusing/macro shooting applications.

Dedicated to the Cambo ACTUS-B-series of view cameras, the ACTAR-80 is a 80mm f/4.0 lens that provides a 85mm image circle to facilitate both shift and rise/fall movements with sensor sizes up to 24 x 36mm. This wide-angle lens is permanently mounted in an ACTUS lensplate for seamless use with the view camera system and features a manual aperture ring for adjustment from f/4.0 to f/22. A 7 element in 5 groups optical design is employed to produce clean, sharp imagery with low distortion, making it well-suited to architectural and landscape applications, as well as product photography. Each of the elements is also multi-coated to suppress surface reflections and flare for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions.
