ACTAR-15
Actar-15 is the latest addition to the expanding range of Cambo Actar lenses.
Designed for architectural, interior and landscape photography, it offers an optical system which has almost no geometrical distortion, while still featuring a generous image circle of over 65 mm.
Cambo’s ACTAR-15 is an ultra wide angle lens, dedicated to the Cambo Actus series. Its design allows it to focus at infinity with mirrorless camera bodies.
The generous image circle accommodates for 15mm shifts using 24x36 sensors, while 33x44 MF sensors still allow for up to 6 mm shift.
The optical design is built out of 17 elements, special coated for high contrast.
- focal length: 15mm
- aperture range: f4.5 - 22
- filter thread: no filter thread
- image circle: 65mm
- weight: 760 gram
- lens design: 17 element/11 groups
- build for: cambo actus with mirrorless camera bodies
- size L x W x H: 95 x 98 x 130 (includes lens cover)
ACTAR-19
Cambo’s ACTAR-19 is a 19mm wide-angle lens, dedicated to the Cambo Actus series.
The distinctive attribute of this lens is its powerful image circle of over 71mm, while showing virtually no geometrical distortion. The image circle makes this lens usable with all sensor formats from APS up to 150mp Digital Backs.
When the Actar-19 is mounted in combination with a GFX Fujifilm camera series it allows for at least 9mm of shift. Even in relation to a 54x41mm sensor using the sensor based electronic shutter- a bit of shift is possible before vignetting.
This lens include glass elements that have Nano Crystal Coat which optimizes image quality under various conditions.
- focal length: 19mm
- aperture range: f3.5 - 32
- filter thread: no filter thread
- image circle: 71mm
- weight: 880 gram
- lens design: 17 element/13 groups
- build for: cambo actus with various camera bodies and DB
- size L x W x H: 121 x 102 x 132 (includes lens cover)
ACTAR-24
Cambo’s ACTAR-24 is a 24mm wide- angle lens, dedicated to the Cambo Actus series. Thanks to its design it will focus at infinity with mirrorless as well as DSLR camera bodies.
On full frame 24x36 sensors the optics allow for 10mm shifts. Using smaller sensors you may gain more shift, as the Actus offers more adjustments within the lens’ 60mm image circle.
While offering a normal wide-angle in one shot, this lens can also be used for more demanding viewing angles using stitching multiple images within its image circle.
The optical design is built out of 16 elements, multicoated for high contrast.
- focal length: 24mm
- aperture range: f3.5 - 22
- filter thread: m82
- image circle: 60mm
- weight: 660 gram
- lens design: 16 element/11 groups
- build for: cambo actus (no shutter)
- size L x W x H: 95 x 98 x 130
ACTAR-35
Cambo’s Actar-35 is a rebuild lens dedicated to the Actus in combination with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. This lens is permanently attached to an Actus lens panel and has a focal length of 35mm. This makes it an ideal companion for landscape and architectural photographers.
This ACTAR-35 [retrofit] is based on the Contax Distagon 35 for the 645 system. The electronic aperture is replaced with a manual version, while being rehoused at the Cambo factory.
As the image circle is designed on the 4,5x6 format, there is an optically allowed horizontal shift possible of 10mm each side when using a full frame (24x36) sensor, when using a 33x44 sensor of the MF camera bodies, the shift possibilities limit to 5mm.
- focal length: 35mm
- aperture range: f3.5 - 32
- filter thread: m95
- image circle: 70mm
- weight: 815 gram
- lens design: 16 element/11 groups
- build for: cambo actus (no shutter)
- size L x W x H: 116 x 100 x 133
ACTAR-60
Cambo’s ACTAR-60 is a 60mm standard lens, dedicated to the Cambo Actus series. It will focus at infinity in combination with mirrorless camera bodies, not with DSLR bodies, due to its compact design.
The ACTAR-60 is a lens with no geometrical distortion. As the image circle is 75mm, there is an optically allowed horizontal shift possible of 15mm each side when using a full frame (24x36) sensor in landscape mode, and 17mm in portrait mode. When using a smaller APS-C sensor the shift possibilities grow to 20mm. Of course vertical shifts have the same possible numbers in reverse order.
The optical design of this lens is a 6 element, of which all lenses are multicoated to achieve the best contrast.
- focal length: 60mm
- aperture range: f4 - 22
- filter thread: m40,5
- image circle: 75mm
- weight: 300 gram
- lens design: 6 element/4 groups
- build for: cambo actus (only for mirrorless bodies)
- size L x W x H: 41 x 98 x 130
ACTAR-80 & 90
Cambo’s ACTAR-80 and ACTAR-90 are 80mm and 90mm standard lenses, dedicated to the Cambo Actus series. Both will focus at infinity in combination with mirrorless camera bodies as well as DSLR bodies.
Both ACTAR-80/90 lenses are ideal for product photography, including fashion, food and jewelry. An extensive image circle of 85 to 90mm, allows for horizontal shifts over more than 20mm each side when using a full frame (24x36) sensor in either landscape or portrait mode.
The optical design of this lens is a 7 element, of which all lenses are multicoated to achieve the best contrast.
- focal length: 80mm | 90mm
- aperture range: f4 - 22
- filter thread: m40,5
