Traditional yet versatile, Cambo's SC-2 Basic is a 4 x 5" monorail-style view camera that affords a full range of camera movements along with a simple interface for precise control. Based upon a 21.3"-long indexed monorail, this camera includes a standard length bellows, with a maximum draw of 18.9", to accommodate working with a variety of focal lengths and subject types. 4.7" of rise and fall, 2" of shift, and 30° of tilt and swing enable an extensive amount of perspective and focus correction, which is aided by dual-axis spirit levels on both the front and rear standards. Each of the movements are set upon zero-reference scales for repeatable precision, and large, knurled locking knobs and a friction focusing mechanism further contribute to intuitive handling. Reminiscent of historical 4 x 5" view cameras, but refined for greater accessibility and precision, the SC-2 Basic is a straight-forward camera well-suited for both studio and field applications.
Complementing the range of movements and controls afforded by the simple interface is a robust construction comprising of an all-metal monorail, standards, and controls. The SC-2 Basic includes both the C-6 Standard Bellows as well as the C-168 International 4 x 5" Ground Glass Back, which features a rotating design and accepts all Graflok-type accessories. Additionally, this camera fits within a modular system of a variety of accessories, which enable you to pair optional components, such as extended bellows, monorails, and more, to better suit different individual shooting applications.
