Cambo X Shutter Introduction Program Q&A

Phase One and Cambo are pleased to announce the availability of the X-Shutter for other platforms than the Phase One XT, such as technical and view cameras.

What is the X-Shutter?

• An Electronic leaf shutter that can replace the #0 Copal style shutters in many Rodenstock or Schneider lenses.
• A shutter which is ONLY controlled by Phase One’s IQ4 Infinity Platform.
• Shutter speed ranging from 1/1000 sec to 60 minutes

What is an X-Shutter Remount?

• The addition of, or replacement with, the X-Shutter to an existing lens.
• The shutter is connected to the IQ4 via one cable. Shutter controls are available at the IQ4’s display and/or Capture One (i.e. no internal contacts via the XT Camera).

Which lenses are supported?

• Only listed lenses that can be handled by Rodenstock and/or Schneider Service will be remounted into the X-Shutter.
• All of these lenses are supported from the IQ4’s firmware (to be updated)
• The exact list of lenses can be found on Cambo.com X-Shutter info
