Cambo 65th Anniversary in 2011
Cambo BV has been founded in The Netherlands in
1946 and has the distinction of being the first studio camera manufacturer to produce an all-metal large format camera.
Based in the town of Kampen in the East of The Netherlands, Cambo has since built a reputation for
high quality, precision-engineered cameras, stands
and other studio equipment.

Wide RS Anniversary Edition
To celebrate Cambo’s 65th year in manufacturing professional camera systems, Cambo have announced a limited edition of the Wide RS System.
The ‘Cambo Wide RS Anniversary Edition’ will be limited to 65 certified sets presented in a high quality recessed customised case.

Two new lenses are included to complement the camera; the Schneider Super-Digitar 28XL and the Apo-Digitar 43XL. The Apo-Digitar 43XL is supplied mounted in a tilt/swing lens panel and both are finished to match the Wide RS colour.
To complete the set a groundglass/fresnel lens and digital back interface will be supplied together with the new Cambo RS Loupe kit. The RS Loupe kit is a 3x Schneider optic loupe mounted on a repositionable plate on the rear of the RS to ensure accurate focussing.
The owner will be able to choose an available edition number between 1 and 65 and a certificate of the original production and authenticity will accompany the Anniversary edition.
