Dedicated to the Cambo ACTUS-B-series of view cameras, the ACTAR-24 is a 24mm f/3.5 lens that provides a 60mm image circle to facilitate both shift and rise/fall movements with sensor sizes up to 24 x 36mm. This wide-angle lens is permanently mounted in an ACTUS lensplate for seamless use with the view camera system and features a manual aperture ring for adjustment from f/3.5 to f/22, in half-stop increments. A 16 element in 11 groups optical design is employed to produce clean, sharp imagery with low distortion, making it well-suited to architectural and landscape applications. Each of the elements is also multi-coated to suppress surface reflections and flare for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions.

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.
