Description — Cambo WTSA-840
The Cambo WTSA-840 Tilt-Swing Lens Panel pairs the Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 40mm lens with a purpose-built tilt-swing panel designed for technical camera systems. The lens mounts via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) interface, making it purpose-matched to the WDS and WRS camera series. At a 40mm focal length, this wide-angle prime sits firmly in the large format category, suited to photographers requiring precise compositional and focus-plane control.
The maximum aperture of f/4 provides reliable light gathering for large format wide-angle work. Manual focus is the sole focusing method, befitting the exacting workflow of technical camera photography. The tilt-swing panel design enables direct manipulation of the optical axis at the board level, giving the photographer independent control over perspective and depth of field without camera body adjustment. The entire assembly weighs 445g, keeping the setup practical for both studio and location use. No image stabilization is present, and no filter thread size is listed in the specifications.
