Cambo: Upgrade Your Ultima to Actus

Cambo has been successfully selling Ultima view cameras over the past 18 years. Now having great success with the new possibilities of the ACTUS system, Cambo will offer the option to update existing Ultima users to the advantages of the ACTUS system, such as a broad selection of adaptations, the ease of sensor rotation within the bayonet mount, and the magnetic click-on bellows.

Cambo is now introducing update kits that are quick and easy to install. The Ultima user will get access to the same adaptation possibilities as the ACTUS offers, such as the lens plates that accept system lenses of Canon, Nikon, Leica-R, Pentax645 next to the Hasselblad and Mamiya and #0, #1 or m39 based lenses. All in combination with mirrorless camera bodies, or a selection of DSLR camera bodies.

There is also a version for mounting digital backs. Just a quick change of the Camera holder for the Digital back holder makes it very easy to change platforms between jobs. The bellows with magnetic attachments connect and disconnect in just seconds.
