Actus Repro

This Actus is a special version dedicated to Repro applications and Flat Art reproduction. The front standard is permanently fixed in a secured parallel alignment without possibilities for swing or tilts, in order to assure the best parallel planes between lens and capture medium. Because the Actus is suitable for DSLR and Mirrorless camera bodies and has interchangeable bayonets for both, it’s the ideal choice for using the high resolution versions of these Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon and Sony bodies.

The quickly interchangeble lens plates allow for using the best applicable optics for the working situation, considering the magnification, distance, size and resolution requirements. As the shutter system is incorporated into the camera body, the optics on the lens panel only need to have a manual aperture.

• The monorail construction allows for a broad range of distance adjusting.
• While the Actus-Repro is default fitted with a 300mm long monorail, it can be exchanged to versions of 155mm or even 450mm.
• Small subject areas, combined with relatively long focal lengths may require more distance between front and rear standard.
• The modular design of the Actus Repro is filling in this need.
• Bellows are also available at different lengths and even special made to custom specifications.
• Precise focusing is easily done with the fine geared focusing rack and pinion of the rear standard, after setting the desired enlargement with the quick slider of the rear standard.
• Using live video focussing from the sensor ensures the best results.
• The Actus-Repro features a dual fine focus gear by default.

The parallel shift possibilities of the rear standard will serve you in 2 ways:

• you can fine position the sensor above a subject without changing the position of the subject
• you can take multiple shots at different positions if your subject is larger than the sensor can capture at the given resolution. Of course the image circle of the used lens should allow for this too.

WRC-400-Repro

The Cambo WRS/WRC version for the archival industry. The WRC-400 REPRO is the slim but rigid connection between digital backs and lenses optimized for reproduction work.
Its integrated shift movements simplify framing. The solid body guarantees perfect alignment of optics and sensor.

Lenspanels can be designed for a precise magnification ratio with a lens of choice – Rodenstock or (legacy) Schneider – in combination with focusing over a helical mount.
Most suitable lenses are available in the Phase One X-Shutter or Aperture Mount. The latter is for use with the digital back’s integrated Electronic Shutter, which eliminates all moving parts and guarantees longevity.

The system can be completed with rear spacers to optimize for the required magnification ratio. Since Cambo manufactures helical focusing mounts in-house they are able to offer tailor-made solutions if needed. The WRC-400 Repro version comes with a special holder for the Rodenstock or Schneider USB controller. This unit can be mounted on one of the 4 sides by choice.

• The rear frame of the WRC-400 has a 40mm parallel shift (20mm each way) and the orientation of this is by choice left-right or front-rear.
• Positioning left-right orientation allows you to stitch images of subjects that are larger than the capture area of the sensor can reproduce at a given resolution.
• Positioning front-rear orientation allows you to offset the camera position from the center of the subject, or to fine position the capture area without touching the subject.
• Lenses with focal lengths over 80mm can also be delivered with a Helical focussing mount with a travel distance of 25mm, which allows for a much broader enlargement range.
• Rearside interface for Hass-V, Hass-H, PhaseOne IQ, MamiyaLeaf 645, Sinar HY6 or Contax compatible DigiBacks.
