WRS-HV – WRS Lenspanel for Hasselblad V Lenses

Coming later this month, the WRS-HV lens plate allows you to mount lenses from the Hasselblad-500 series, in combination with the WRS series camera.

This combination will work with those digital backs that have an electronic shutter option, which works as a shutterless digital back, such as the PhaseOne IQ3-100 and the new IQ-4 series.


The aperture of the lenses can be set manually. The WRS-HV does not cock or fire the lens’ leaf shutter.
The practical use of lenses may be limited to those that have enough image circle coverage for the used digital back when using shifts.

The availability of Hasselblad lenses of the 500 series goes back a long time and this also gives you the opportunity to use particular old style legacy lenses, as well as very long focal lengths without the extreme physical extension of symmetric LF lenses.

 

Hasselblad lens not included.

  • Includes a camera plate with 1/4″ mount
This Base is compatible with the ARCA dovetail base-mount of the Wide RS camera body and has a 3/8″ tripod mount.
The WRS-334 will fit directly to:

  • WRS-7250
  • WRS-1200 with ARCA plate
  • WRC-400  with ARCA plate

Cambo WRS-7250 Wide RS Anniversary Kit

Today in 2018, Cambo celebrates not only 72 years of accumulated expertise and dedicated craftsmanship of in-house design and manufacturing, but also 50 years of CAMBO Wide series of technical cameras.

The WRS-72|50 kit is built around an ergonomically optimised camera body. Based on the WRS-1600 introduced in 2016, the WRS-72|50 adds many exclusive design changes, including rounded corners, protected spirit levels, angled placement of a hand belt support and more. The special shaped handgrip is made of fine Rosewood. While keeping the unique body rotation between landscape and portrait position without removing digital back or lens, that help will protect your equipment against dust and damage.
The optics in this kit are Rodenstock’s finest 32HR-W and 90HR-SW, both in a tilt/swing lens panel for the best image quality and control. Additionally, Cambo has designed a new precision tilting function to the 90HR’s rear spacer, which adds an additional six degrees of tilt -or swing- on top of its lens panel movements. This offers you even more flexibility and image optimisation.

Each kit is individually numbered out of a limited series of only 50 units. It includes a Certificate of Authenticity with matching serial numbers.
This exquisite kit is delivered in a luxury Rimowa case with dedicated cavities for your equipment, including space for a digital back and extra lens or accessories.
The kit is completed with Cambo’s PCH precision controlled ball and geared head, with exclusive anniversary trim.
Full contents of the kit consist of:
  • WRS-72|50 body in Anniversary trim
  • Dedicated aluminium body cap
  • WTS-32 HR-W Digaron in T/S mount in Anniversary trim
  • WTS-90 HR-SW Digaron in T/S short barrel mount in Anniversary trim

First Test Images: WRE-CA with an IQ3-100 + Canon 17mm f/4.0 TS E.

Many have been asking, and the time has finally come to shed a little more light onto the WRE-CA powered Canon lens adapter for the WRS Platform.

img_3647

Based on the popular ACB-CA design used with the Actus system, the WRE-CA allows for full aperture control on Canon lenses while they are mounted onto a WRS Camera body.

When used in combination with a digital back with electronic shutter (Such as the Phase One IQ3-100) this system allows for photographers to use their existing Canon lens options while taking photographs.

Not every lens however will be a great fit. In order to best utilize the WRE-CA, lenses with larger image circles such as the Canon T/S lenses are recommended. If you are comfortable with cropping your image and not using the entire sensor space, any Canon EF lens will fit with this adapter. Just be aware that although a lens may fit, lenses that focus using the Canon STM system will not be able to manually focus since the motor does not engage. 

We here at Cambo USA just received our first hands on chance to use the WRE-CA and wanted to share a few test images to show what is capable with this unit.

The first lens I tried with the system was the Canon 24mm TS E. The lens as expected covered the image sensor and I was able to take a few images, but I was more interested to see if any shifting was possible using this solution. The answer is, not much. 24ts-5-shiftAt 5mm of shift, corners just barely become visible. However pushing any farther results in much more noticeable vignetting.

24ts-10-shiftThe real test however came with using the ultra wide 17mm lens.

screen-shot-2017-02-10-at-2-48-58-pm Behold! The Cambo USA Office kitchen! While not so much a sight in itself, when paired with the resolving power of the IQ3-100 I am very impressed with the amount of detail you can get out of a lens that was designed without the thought of ever being used on such a high powered capture source.

1:1 crop of the kitchen test.  

img_3651

While it may seem strange at first, the design of the WRE-CA makes it very easy to see and adjust the aperture of whichever lens is attached. Using the LCD screen built onto the unit to visually see an indication of your aperture setting, while adjusting with the dial on the right hand side of the unit was very pleasant.

cambowreca585

screen-shot-2017-02-10-at-2-25-54-pmAlthough I could have metered a bit more carefully for these images, I wanted to show that the image circle of the 17mm is very capable of resolving over the large 100MP sensor of the IQ3-100.

screen-shot-2017-02-10-at-2-25-32-pm

Unlike its 24mm brother, the 17mm does not allow for any shifts over 3mm, but I’m still impressed as its use as an ultra wide option. I hope to do a lot more thorough testing very soon.

Who would benefit the most from this product? Photographers looking for a super wide angle solution for their high megapixel medium format backs. Or photographers who may already have invested in a Canon T/S solution before moving to medium format and wish to utilize existing equipment.

For more information or to purchase your own WRE-CA, contact your local Cambo dealer today. The WRE-CA is available for order now.

 

**Update 2/14/17**

Richard from Cambo also shared this image with me using the 17mm. This one is a lot more interesting than the kitchen test image. Downscaled for web use.
