Announcing the New Cambo Actar 15
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 (24×36) 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.
