Hi all,
I know the Cambo Actar-19 has come up in discussion before, but with very little information online about it's real world performance. One of the concerns I've seen raised in the past is that the Actar-19 does not use a a focus helicoid and with it's floating element design, near focus performance might be compromised? Last year Cambo launched the WRE-2019 for Wide RS mount cameras with electronic shutter. Looking at pictures of it, it seems they have retained the original focus assembly. I've recently bought a Cambo WRS 1000 and a Hasselblad CFV 100c, and given the CFV's electronic shutter capability am thinking the WRE-2019 might be a good fit. Has anyone used this lens?
