Description — Cambo WRA-2040
The Cambo WRA-2040 mounts the Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 40mm f/4 lens onto Cambo WDS/WRS series technical cameras via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) interface. As a prime wide-angle lens in the large format category, it delivers a fixed 40mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/4, suited to photographers demanding precise manual control. The assembly weighs just 450g, making it a practical choice for large format technical camera users.
Focus is manual only, with no autofocus or image stabilization. The system is engineered for use with digital backs featuring an electronic shutter, removing the need for a conventional mechanical shutter in the lens panel itself. This makes the WRA-2040 a streamlined, purpose-built solution for large format digital photography at the wide end of the focal range.
