AC-795 – Actus Bayonet Kit for Fujifilm GFX100

Following the official introduction of the Fujifilm GFX100 on May 23rd, 2019 Cambo is pleased to announce a dedicated interface for mounting, and supporting this new flagship camera in the GFX line of products.

As a result of the different body design compared to the Fujifilm GFX50 series, the bayonet holder for the GFX100 will have a different shape than the existing holder AC-792, and includes an extra riser block for the front standard.

The existing Cambo Actus-GFX for the GFX50S and GFX50R

Cambo’s new AC-795, designed as an interchangeable bayonet holder kit, will be compatible with the current Actus-G series.

However, due to the design changes of the Fujifilm GFX100 body, this needs to be positioned on a higher distance to allow enough clearance. This  results in an additional 30mm riser block to be needed for the front standard. As well as an additional spacer that needs to be added on the rear bayonet mount.

Because of this additional flange spacing the Actar-60, and some other wider angle lens options will not be able reach infinity setting with this kit.

NOTE: Alternatively the Fujifilm GFX100 will fit the Actus-GFX unchanged, in portrait orientation only without the need for the additional spacer, but because of the new design the AC-795 is required for landscape orientation.

Cambo ACB-795 Specifications:

Bayonet : Fujifilm GFX   
Available Color: Black anodized
Internal Rotation:90 degrees between Landscape and Portrait
Raiser block front standard:    30mm high, included with kit.

The interface kit AC-795 will be available shortly and can be pre-ordered as of today from your dealer of choice.

AC-784: Nikon Z Bayonet for Actus G

This AC-784 Bayonet Holder is an optional accessory for the ACTUS-G series and allows the mounting of a Nikon Z-mount Mirrorless Camera Body to the interchangeable top part of the rear standard of the ACTUS-G View camera base.

Announced earlier this year, the Nikon Z series of cameras opens up some very interesting options for Actus users. With its 16mm flange distance and full frame sensor, the Nikon Z cameras are able to make use of the entire range of Actar lenses as well as all other lens options available to the Actus platform. 

More testing will be required, but the Nikon Z may even be able to take full advantage of Nikon F-mount lenses! Stay tuned for more in depth testing and results.

This adapter includes a built-in rotation between landscape and portrait position.

Note: Due to the size of the Nikon Z bayonet mount the AC-784 will not fit to the Actus-B version.

The AC-784 adaptor is shipping now. Contact your Cambo dealer for more information, or to place your order.

The ACDB-987 makes it even easier to switch from shooting with your DSLR or Mirrorless camera body to shooting with your digital back, while adding additional movements that you come to expect from a larger view camera, while not adding much additional size to the Actus you already know and love.

This adapter is compatible with:

ACTUS-GFX
ACTUS-XCD
ACTUS-G

In order to have a complete, solution users will need to add one of the below SLW-adapters:

SLW-80 for Hasselblad-V compatible digiback
SLW-89 for Hasselblad-H compatible digiback
SLW-83 for PhaseOne XF compatible digiback
SLW-84 for Sinar 30|45 compatible digiback
SLW-81 for Leaf AFi/Hy6 compatible digiback
WRS-1068 for Mamiya RB roll film back

And additionally need a set of the below bellows for Digital Backs:

WRS-HV – WRS Lenspanel for Hasselblad V Lenses

Coming later this month, the WRS-HV lens plate allows you to mount lenses from the Hasselblad-500 series, in combination with the WRS series camera.

This combination will work with those digital backs that have an electronic shutter option, which works as a shutterless digital back, such as the PhaseOne IQ3-100 and the new IQ-4 series.


The aperture of the lenses can be set manually. The WRS-HV does not cock or fire the lens’ leaf shutter.
The practical use of lenses may be limited to those that have enough image circle coverage for the used digital back when using shifts.

The availability of Hasselblad lenses of the 500 series goes back a long time and this also gives you the opportunity to use particular old style legacy lenses, as well as very long focal lengths without the extreme physical extension of symmetric LF lenses.

 

Hasselblad lens not included.

Cambo Actus Rear & Base Tilt Adaptors

Cambo is expanding the ACTUS series with an optional BASE TILT Function. Often our more experienced view camera users ask how to get the most movements out of the Actus system. Previously we would have recommended the Actus XL for those who needed more control, but that option resulted in a much larger camera system. We are happy to announce that these movements are now achievable on a standard Actus for those who need them.

Cambo has designed a tilting unit that can be mounted between the existing standard and the monorail. The tilt unit offers up to 15 degrees of forward and backward tilt, in increments of 5 degrees, while keeping both standards exactly parallel.

Once the desired amount of tilt has been achieved these adaptors lock into place to stop any unintended movements.

Customers have three different options to choose from when wanting to add these movements:

 

AC-371  – Rear Base Tilt:

The AC-371 kit consists of a rear base tilt unit and a dedicated spacer under the front assembly to match the correct height change.
The rear base unit can be set each 5 degrees up-to 15 degrees to each side. The lock is applied in a grid pattern, so the standard is locked into position.
Additional weight:          0,26 kg
Additional height:          20 mm
Additional focus draw: 42 mm
Rear base tilt:        +15 / -15 degrees
Increments:        each 5 degrees.

AC-373 Dual Base Tilt:   

AC-373 adds an extra base tilt adjustment to your Actus camera’s front and rear standards. The rear base tilt unit mounts between the rear standard focusing unit and the monorail, and in addition to the added tilt allows for an extra layer of sliding focus too.
The front base tilt unit mounts with 4 screws between the front standard and the monorail.
AC-373 gives you additional freedom of movements in applying technical camera settings. next to that, you can set indirect vertical movements by applying base tilt to both standard, increasing more vertical shift when your optics allow for that. The AC-373 kit consists of a rear base tilt unit and a front base tilt unit under the front assembly to match the correct height change
Additional weight:          0,28 kg
Additional height:          20 mm
Additional focus draw: 42 mm
Rear base tilt:        +15 / -15 degrees
Front base tilt:        +15 / -15 degrees
Increments:        each 5 degrees.

 

AC-375 Full Base Tilt:    

AC-375 adds an extra base tilt adjustment to your Actus camera’s front and rear standards, as well as to the Tripod Mount.

The rear base tilt unit mounts between the rear standard focussing unit and the monorail, and makes an extra layer of sliding focus too.
The front base tilt unit mounts with 4 screws between the front standard and the monorail.
The tripod base tilt unit mounts to the bottom of the monorail and can slide along the full monorail length.
AC-375 gives you additional freedom of movements in applying technical camera settings. Next to that, you can set indirect vertical movements by applying base tilt to both standard, increasing more vertical shift when your optics allow for that. By simultaneously applying tilt to the tripod mount, you can keep your standards parallel and perpendicular with an inclined monorail. Ideal for yaw-free swing applications.
Additional weight AC-375:             0,48 kg
Additional height front and rear : 20 mm
Additional height tripod mount:  35 mm
Additional focus draw rear unit:    42 mm
Rear base tilt:        +15 / -15 degrees
Front base tilt:        +15 / -15 degrees
Tripod base tilt:        +15 / -15 degrees
Increments:        each 5 degrees.

Cambo ACDB-989 – Interchangeable SLW Adaptor Holder For Actus-G

Since the launch of the Actus-EDU last year (and more recently the Actus-G/GFX/XCD) with its interchangeable rear bayonet system for DLSR/Mirrorless cameras. we have been getting a lot of questions for users who were looking to swap between using a Mirrorless camera and a Digital Back.

Until now, the only real solution was for a user to purchase both an Actus-Mini as well as the Actus-DB conversion kit. While this would provide a working solution for both platforms, it did add a significant cost to the Actus system as well as the inconvenience of having to swap the rear standard either before shooting had begun or in the field.

The ACDB-989 is built around the quick change mechanism of the AC-78E rear standard. It can replace the bayonet holders AC-792 (GFX), AC-793 (X1D) and AC-78E (DSLR/Mirrorless) and offers the possibility to use a digital back on the Actus-G series.

When combined with the matching SLW adaptor for your digital back, and the appropriate set of Digital Back bellows,this solution allows the user to swap between SLR/Mirrorless Cameras and Digital Backs quickly and effortlessly.

Additionally needed SLW-adapter:
  • SLW-80 for Hasselblad-V compatible digiback
  • SLW-89 for Hasselblad-H compatible digiback
  • SLW-83 for PhaseOne XF compatible digiback
  • SLW-84 for Sinar 30|45 compatible digiback
  • SLW-81 for Leaf AFi/Hy6 compatible digiback
  • WRS-1068 for Mamiya RB roll film back
Additionally needed bellows:
  • ACDB-250 as normal bellows
  • ACDB-252 as wide-angle bellows
  • ACDB-254 as long extension bellows (on AC-330 monorail)
  • ACDB-256 as macro extension bellows  (on AC-345 monorail)

The ACDB-989 is shipping now, and available for purchase from your local Cambo USA dealer.
