Description — Cambo WRA-2180L
The Cambo HR Digaron-S 180mm f/5.6 is a prime telephoto lens engineered for large format technical camera use. Built around a Lens Board (Technical Camera) mount, it integrates directly with Cambo's WDS and WRS camera systems, offering a dedicated solution for medium format digital back users seeking precise manual control. The fixed 180mm focal length places this lens firmly in telephoto territory, ideal for detail-focused studio and architectural work.
At a maximum aperture of f/5.6, it delivers consistent exposure in controlled lighting environments. Manual focus is the sole focus method, keeping the operator in full control — a natural fit for the deliberate, tripod-based shooting workflow that large format technical cameras demand. Weighing just 0.422kg, this lens is relatively lightweight within its class, and the 62mm filter thread ensures broad accessory compatibility. No image stabilization is present, reinforcing its design as a studio and support-mounted tool.
