Lance, you guys are Cambo dealers right? What's your (and Doug's) opinion of the Cambo WRS-1000?
Hi Carlos
I’m neither Lance nor Doug however I just could pas up the chance to sing the praises of the Cambo RS 1000.
There’s been a considerable amount written about the new RS (some by me) so I really don’t want to do a rehash. What I’d like to do is address the simplicity of the RS.
When I first started looking at technical cameras my main worry was being able to achieve a proper focus followed by the fact I’d be returning to a fully manual type of shooting. What I immediately found was a system so scary simple I thought at first I was doing something wrong.
I’ve not had a single image that wasn’t in focus – if I did my part. What I mean is I need to remember to check the focus point to make sure I didn’t change from the last time I was out or that it didn’t get knocked out of whack.
Same goes for remembering to cock the shutter each time (I’m getting better) as well as remembering to take the lens cap off (I’m over that now).
One of the things I like the most about the RS is the brain dead simply method of being able to stitch images and have close to 100% usable image once I merge them in CS4.
It hasn’t been all wine and cheese as I’m still struggling (less each time) with lens cast and color corrections cause by the lens. I’ve always preferred to run away from center filters and in doing so I need to do multiple LCC’s (topic of another thread).
Returning to the positive – I have both a 35 and 72mm lens (which equate to 25 & 51mm) and so far I have had to need to use a viewfinder thus saving me several hundreds of dollars.
There’s more that I could say about this kit but then I’d start sounding like a salesman or some such thing which I’m not.
