Lens Overview — Cambo WTSA-850
Key Features — Cambo WTSA-850
HR Digaron-W Optics: Rodenstock's high-resolution optical formula is engineered to cover large format digital backs with edge-to-edge sharpness at extreme pixel densities.
50mm Wide-Angle Prime: Fixed 50mm focal length delivers a dedicated wide-angle perspective on technical cameras, equivalent to an ultra-wide field of view on medium format digital backs.
Large Format Image Circle: Designed to cover sensors and film planes beyond medium format, providing ample image circle for shift and tilt movements on technical cameras.
Cambo Lens Board Mount: Pre-mounted on a Cambo lens board for direct integration with compatible WDS and WRS technical camera systems.
Manual Focus Design: Precise manual focus control suits the deliberate, tripod-based workflow typical of technical and large format photography.
f/4 Maximum Aperture: Wide-angle lens corrected to f/4, optimized for sharpness and field flatness across the full image circle rather than maximum light transmission.

Description — Cambo WTSA-850
The Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 50mm on a Cambo lens board is a prime, manual focus wide-angle lens built for large format and medium format technical camera systems. Mounted via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) interface, it integrates into compatible technical camera platforms designed for high-resolution digital capture. The lens delivers a fixed 50mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/4, and accepts 67mm filters for flexible optical control in the field or studio.
Weighing just 0.55kg, the assembly remains practical for use on technical camera rigs. There is no autofocus, no image stabilization, and no integrated shutter — this lens board configuration is designed to work with digital backs that feature an electronic shutter for exposure control. Aperture can be adjusted manually on the lens itself.
This is a tool built for photographers who prioritize precision and image quality above all else, working within the methodical, high-resolution discipline of technical camera photography.
