The Cambo WTS-828 Tilt-Swing Lens Panel is dedicated for use with the included Rodenstock HR Digaron-S 28mm f/4.5 lens, and facilitates the attachment of the lens to Cambo WDS- and WRS-series cameras for working with a digital back. This tilt-swing panel incorporates geared tilt and swing mechanisms to offer +/- 5° of movement in both directions for increased control over perspective distortions and focus. Cambo has modified this Rodenstock lens, set in a Copal #0 shutter, by mounting it within a helical focusing mount and attaching it to the dedicated tilt-swing lens panel. This combination permits a minimum focusing distance of 9.8" along with a range of integrated perspective control movements dependent on differently-sized digital backs.
- The panel incorporates knob-driven, geared mechanisms for +/-5° of both tilt and swing movements. Both of these movements can be controlled independently, or together, and the center rotation is close to the optical axis in order to avoid unintentional image shifts. On the side of the panel are index scales for repeatable performance along with a hard zero stop for quickly returning to parallel positioning.

- 36 x 56mm sensor size: 3mm/2mm
Camera Movements:
- WRS: 34mm up, 26mm down, 20mm left and right
- WDS: 25mm up, 15mm down, 20mm left and right
- High resolution lens specifically designed for use with digital backs featuring image sensors as large as 40 x 54mm.
- Produces extremely fine, uniform 70mm image circle with a 101° angle of coverage.
- Taking into account the optical effect of sensors' cover glass, the optical design of this lens has been developed to nearly eliminate chromatic and spherical aberrations, as well as astigmatism.
- Ideal working aperture range of f/5.6 to f/8.
- Copal #0 shutter affords a range of shutter speeds up to 1/500 sec., as well as bulb and time settings.
- Helical focusing mount enables critical manual focusing on subjects as close as 9.8" away.
