Cambo ACTAR-24 Overview
Designed specifically for the ACTUS-B view camera, this wide-angle lens is permanently mounted in an ACTUS lensplate and maintains infinity focus with both DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. It is not compatible with the ACTUS-DB system.
Featuring an image circle of 60mm, this lens covers full-frame, 24 x 36mm sensors and allows for approximately 10mm of shift per side when working in the horizontal orientation, or 12mm of shift in vertical orientation. When working with APS-C-sized sensors, approximately 15mm and 17mm of shift is available, respectively.
A 16 element in 11 groups optical design affords a high degree of sharpness and resolution, and each individual element is multi-coated to suppress flare and ghosting for maintained contrast when working in strong lighting conditions.
Manual aperture ring affords control from f/3.5 to f/22 in half-stop increments.

I just love this lens, I use it with my Cambo Actus and Fuji GFX. I do mainly architecture and landscapes and this lens is perfect for it. Look at the first test shot I did.

I am trying to take interior photos using the actus B system on Sony's Alpha 7 R3 model.
What is the angle of view of the actar24mm lens based on a 35mm mirrorless camera?
How is the angle of view compared to Canon's 24mm ts-e lens?
Also, I'm curious about the difference in resolution between the two lenses.
The Cambo ACTAR-24 24mm f/3.5 Lens for ACTUS-B when used with a full frame camera is 24mm. There is no crop.
Compared to the Canon TS-E 24mm f3.5L II, both are 24mm focal length. But the Canon has a larger image circle, 67.2mm and the Cambo has 60mm. Meaning you have more shift on the Canon lens over the Cambo lens.
