Cambo ACTUS-XCD View Camera Body with 15mm Lens Kit for Hasselblad X Mount

Put together specifically for the Hasselblad X system, this Cambo ACTUS-XCD 15mm lens Kit comprises the groundbreaking modular ACTUS system alongside an exceptional 15mm wide-angle lens and all the various holders and adapters you need to create great images straight out of the box.

The ACTAR-15 is an Ultra-Wide-Angle Lens, dedicated to the Cambo Actus system in combination with a DSLR or Mirrorless camera, mounted to the Actus. This lens is permanently attached to an Actus lens panel and has a focal length of 15mm. This makes it an ideal companion for interior, landscape and architectural photographers. With a relatively light weight and a modest size it is easy to carry with you to location shootings.

The ACTAR-15 is a lens with almost no geometrical distortion. As the image circle is over 65mm, there is an optically allowed horizontal shift possible of 15mm each side when using a full frame (24x36) sensor in landscape mode, and 12mm in portrait mode. Use of the ACTAR-15 on the Actus with Fujifilm GFX 50/100 series is possible up to 6 mm of shift.

The optical design of this lens is a 17 element in 11 groups. The aperture range is from f/4,5 to f/22 in half stop increments. Please note that the aperture is manual and there are no electronical connections available nor needed.

Offering extensive perspective and focus control along with the convenience of working with your digital camera, the black ACTUS-G View Camera Body from Cambo effectively transforms your digital camera or back into a digital view camera. As the core component within a modular system, this view camera body serves as the primary piece from which you can pair a digital camera body with a variety of lenses to reap the benefits of geared camera movements for correcting perspective distortions, achieving an extended depth of field, or producing creative selective focus effects. While resembling traditional large format view cameras in function, the ACTUS system also echoes the compact form factor of the digital cameras it is designed to be paired with and is optimized for use in both the studio as well as on location.

This view camera body is delivered with a 6.1" monorail as well as a 4.9" bellows to permit working with a variety of lens and camera types. The monorail is designed to fit within the Arca-Swiss style quick release system for easy mounting to a tripod, and is also fitted with both 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 mounts for attaching quick release plates. Optional lensplates can be added depending on your desired lens type, and the monorail and bellows is also interchangeable with optional wide-angle and longer versions of each.

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 and horizontal 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.
