Cambo 27 Hole Recessed Lens Board Review

The Cambo 27 Hole Recessed Lens Board is a specialized accessory designed for Cambo large-format view cameras. It features a 27mm recessed design that allows lenses to be mounted deeper into the camera body, which is particularly useful when working with wide-angle lenses to prevent vignetting and maintain adequate room for movements. This board is compatible with Cambo's modular system and provides a precise mounting platform for lenses that require extra clearance.

At $34, this is a practical addition for large-format photographers who already own a Cambo system and need to accommodate shorter focal lengths. The recessed design is essential for certain shooting scenarios where a standard flat lens board would cause the rear element of a wide lens to interfere with the camera's bellows or movements. Available in used excellent condition from KEH, it offers a cost-effective way to expand lens compatibility without compromising optical performance.
