Cambo 42 Hole Lens Board Review

The Cambo 42 Hole Lens Board is a specialized accessory for large-format photographers working with Cambo view cameras. Priced at $39, it serves as the mounting interface between compatible lenses and the camera body, featuring a 42mm center hole to accommodate a range of shutter sizes. This is a fundamental component for anyone building or maintaining a modular large-format system, particularly those shooting with older Cambo equipment.

As a used item graded "excellent" by KEH, this lens board offers a cost-effective entry point for shooters looking to expand their lens options or replace worn boards. Lens boards are mechanical necessities rather than performance gear, so condition matters primarily for fit and finish. The 42mm aperture is a standard size in large-format work, making this board broadly compatible with many classic and modern lenses designed for view cameras.
