Lens OverviewCambo WTSA-850

The Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 50mm is a prime wide-angle lens configured on a Cambo lens board, designed specifically for technical camera systems using the Lens Board mount. With a fixed focal length of 50mm and a maximum aperture of f/4, this lens is built for the medium format and large format world, making it a compelling choice for photographers working with high-resolution digital backs. The lens is manual focus only, with no autofocus or image stabilization, which is consistent with the deliberate, precision-driven workflow that technical camera use demands.

It accepts 67mm filters, giving photographers access to a wide range of filtration options for their shooting needs. Weighing 0.55kg, the lens and board assembly is relatively manageable for a large format optical unit. The lens board format means it integrates directly into compatible WDS and WRS-style technical camera systems.

With a focalLengthRange classified as Wide Angle, the 50mm focal length is positioned to capture expansive scenes in the large format context. This is a manual-aperture, no-shutter configuration, relying on the digital back's electronic shutter for exposure control.

Key FeaturesCambo 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.
