purchase-online Cambo X2


Cambo introduces the X2-PRO camera system, a new tool that gives photographers the ability to shoot with their existing SLR cameras using view camera movements. The innovative X2-PRO camera system allows technical camera front standard movements such as rise, fall, swing, tilt and shift. Ultra-fine adjustments of the lens plane used for perspective and fine focal plane control are driven by two patented CAMBO CROSSGEARING drives that have the feel of liquid-smooth precision.

499051-441x441The Rodenstock 105mm f/5.6 Apo-Sironar Digital Lens for the X2-PRO is from a series of optics that are designed from the ground up for peak digital performance. Unlike film-based photography, digital sensors are less forgiving and require light to strike straight on, whereas film could receive light transmitted from any angle. This stipulation requires a new breed of lenses, like this one, that directs light straight down the optical path in a fashion required by digital CCD or CMOS sensors.

  • Accepts any brand of 49mm size filter.
  • Apochromatic design reduces color aberration.
  • Each element is constructed to eliminate color “fringing” in the digital image.

XBN-Bellows-441x441The Cambo Bellows for X2-PRO DSLR Camera System is designed to give DSLR cameras the movements of a view camera system. The DSLR camera is mounted to the X2 body in order to offer the tilt, swing, fall and rise movements of a large format camera as well as the ultra fine adjustments and focal plane control.

X2-Bellows for Canon DSLR, Nikon DSLR, Mamiya, Sony Alpha A850/900, and Sony E-mount

Cambo_99030411_XMBC_35_Extended_Bellows_646251-441x441The Cambo Extended Bellows is for use with the X2M-PRO camera body with an extended monorail. The X2M-PRO is a tool that gives photographers the ability to shoot with their existing DSLR cameras using view camera movements such as fall, rise, tilt, swing and shift. Cambo’s dedicated mounting system places the DSLR in the exact optical center of its sensor and features a quick-release for use in portrait or landscape position without removing the bellows.

X2M Macro Bellows with Canon Bayonet, Nikon Bayonet, and Mamiya Bayonet.

  • Enables the use of lenses with larger image-circles allowing for more movements and freedom.
  • 150mm extension for the X2M-PRO System standard bellows.Combined tilt-swing-shift into 4 directions with every lens that fits the X2M-PRO.
  • Allows for shooting as close as 7.87in (20cm) using a 120mm Macro Digitar lens to achieve more than a 1:1 magnification and with an 80mm Macro Digitar lens more than 2:1 magnification.
X2-Macro_1sThe Cambo Extended Monorail with a Focusing Block, XM-150 is an accessory required to retrofit the X2M-PRO camera to the X2-XM-150. The X2-XM-150 is a tool for the professional shooter using a DSLR that requires the features of a view camera such as tilt, shift and swing. With a maximum bellows extension of 150mm, the Cambo X2-PRO lets the photographer choose from their existing Schneider, Rodenstock, Hasselblad or Mamiya lenses.
X-844_01s-441x441The Cambo X2-Mount places the CCD exactly in the optical center of the lens, in horizontal as well as vertical position.

X2-Mount for Phase One DF (Mamiya AFD) Series, Canon 5D Series & 7D, Canon 1D Series Mk 3, Nikon D3/D3x Series, Nikon D300/D700 Series, and Nikon D800 Series.

X-899_1s-441x441The Cambo X2 Universal Mounting Block, X-899 is a universal mounting block for DSLR cameras that are not listed with dedicated mounting blocks. The height is adjustable and the position of the tripod mount is adjustable, so that for a proper position can be found for most DSLR bodies. This enables the use of Canon 350D, 400D, Nikon D70, D80, etc.

Please note that a X Bellows with the proper bayonet needs to be added.


X-232s-441x441The Cambo X2-PRO Lensplate, XA-232 makes it possible to use Mamiya 645 Pro lenses in combination with the X2-PRO system. Mamiya 645 Pro lenses can be set manually to the desired aperture setting in the contrary of Mamiya 645 AFD lenses. The XA-232 can only be used in combination with Canon bayonet based SLR bodies and will not work with Nikon bayonet based SLR bodies. The use of a Mamiya lens relates to your sensor size as the same focal length in 35mm format. For example a 45mm Mamiya lens will have the same perspective on a 1Ds as a 45mm Canon lens.
X-233s-441x441The Cambo X2-PRO Lensplate, XA-233 makes it possible to use Mamiya RZ/RB Lenses in combination with the X2-PRO system. Mamiya RZ/RB lenses can be set manually to the desired aperture setting. The use of a Mamiya lens relates to your sensor size as the same focal length in 35mm format, so a 50mm Mamiya lens will have the same perspective on a 1Ds as a 50mm Canon lens; for the smaller sensors the maginification factor will apply of course.
X-231s-441x441The Cambo X2-PRO Lensplate, XA-231 makes it possible to use Hasselblad CF Lenses (not H1) with the X2-PRO system. Hasselblad lenses can be set manually to the desired aperture setting. The XA-231 can only be used in combination with both Canon bayonet based SLR bodies and with Nikon bayonet based SLR bodies. The use of a Hasselblad lens relates to your sensor size as the same focal length in 35mm format, so a 50mm Hasselblad lens will have the same perspective on a 1Ds as a 50mm Canon lens; for the smaller sensors the maginification factor will apply of course.
X-228s-441x441The Cambo X2-PRO Lensplate, X-229 has a hole with m39 Leica threading for use of lenses with enlarger mount. The X-228 is 20mm recessed. The practical use of lenses with m39 mount is depending on the combination of DSLR camerabody, back focal length, magnification and image size.
X-228s-441x441The Cambo X2-PRO Lensplate, X-228 has a hole of 34.7mm for use of lenses with Copal #0 shutters or NK-0 mount. The X-228 is 20mm recessed and is needed in combination with the use of the Schneider Digitar 28mm, 72mm and 80mm. The X-228 is also needed in combination with a 150mm lens, but then reversed mounted.
X-224s-441x441Cambo X2-PRO Lensplate, X-224 has a hole of 41.7mm for use of lenses with Copal #1 shutters or NK-1 mount.
X-223s-441x441Cambo X2-PRO Lensplate, X-223 has a hole of 34.7mm for use of lenses with Copal #0 shutters or NK-0 mount.
