Offering extensive perspective and focus control along with the convenience of working with your digital camera, the black ACTUS-B4 View Camera Body with Nikon F Bayonet Mount Kit from Cambo effectively transforms your DSLR into a digital view camera. As the core component within a modular system, this view camera body serves as the primary piece from which you can pair Nikon F mount DSLRs with a variety of lenses to reap the benefits of geared camera movements for correcting perspective distortions, achieving an extended depth of field, or producing creative selective focus effects. While resembling traditional large format view cameras in function, the ACTUS system also echoes the compact form factor of the digital cameras it is designed to be paired with and is optimized for use in both the studio as well as on location.

With 147mm of travel to focus, I'm thinking that the Nikor W 150mm F5.6 S LF lens is just a tad too long. Is that correct?
Unfortunately if you are looking to use a Nikon F mount lens, with an F mount body it is not possible to do so and maintain infinity focus. Doing so would turn the Actus into a strange set of "extension tubes" that would not be a functional solution. I would instead recommend Mamiya RB/RZ lenses and large format lenses 100mm and greater for maximum compatibility.

Along with a Nikon D810 I also have a Pentax 645Z system with a 120mm f4 medium format lens. Will this combination work together?
You can use your Nikon D810 with the 120mm lens if you use Cambo ACB-P645. There isn't a bayonet available to mount the Pentax 645Z body to the Actus.

I think this is answered below but just to be sure, using this with a Mamiya (RZ67) 50mm ULD l& 110 mm lens would allow infinity focus correct?
This adapter would be required for use with a Mamiya RZ/RB lens mount: https://bhpho.to/3RGBJhv and infinity focus is possible depending on the position of the bellows.

How does product compare to using a Nikon 85mm Tilt/shift pce lens on a Nikon D810?
Using the Actus system allows you to do several movements with the front and rear standard simultaneously. With the 85mm Tilt/Shift you are limited to Tilt or Shift.

I would like to use the Cambo B-4 with a Nikon Z7 ...
I would like to use the Cambo B-4 with a Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Camera to photograph architecture. What lenses would I need to have infinity focus and have the whole sensor of the camera covered? Thanks
If you’d like to use a mirrorless Nikon on the Actus, you need the Actus-G combined with Nikon Z bayonet. The Actus-B4 is for use with Nikon DSLR cameras. The Actar-24 is designed to cover the full sensor and more. You’ll have 10mm of shift to both sides. Physically more, but beyond 10 the quality deteriorates. The Actar-35 is also a good option, but this lens is a retrofit, meaning the client needs to send in his lens to us and we rebuild it.
Nikon F lenses can also be used on the Actus/Nikon-Z combination. There won’t be any limitations in focussing to infinity, but in general the image circle of these lenses is too small to be of any use.
