Cambo ACTAR-24 24mm f/3.5 Wide Angle Lens for ACTUS-B View Camera | Large Format Photography

he ACTAR-24 is a lens dedicated to the Cambo Actus in combination with a DSLR or mirror less camera, mounted to the Actus. This lens is permanently attached to an Actus lens panel and has a focal length of 24mm. This makes it an ideal companion for 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-24 is a lens with almost no geometrical distortion. As the image circle is 60mm, there is an optically allowed horizontal shift possible of 10mm each side when using a full frame (24x36) sensor in landscape mode, and 12mm in portrait mode. When using a smaller APS-C sensor the shift possibilities grow to 15mm and 17mm. Of course vertical shifts have the same possible numbers in reverse order.  Use on the Fujifilm GFX50 series is possible without shift, but with use of tilt and swing.

The optical design of this lens is a 16 element in 11 groups, of which all lenses are multicoated to achieve the best contrast. The aperture range is from f/3,5 to f/22 in half stop increments. Please note that the aperture is manual and there are no electronic connections available nor needed.
