Cambo's Ultima is a monorail camera system, sold in several versions for 4x5-inch film, roll film, MF digital backs and 35 mm [[DSLR camera bodies. These are just different sets of modules mounted on the same base, incorporating the rail and controls for focusing and camera movements. A 2008 brochure described the configurations available:[1]
- Ultima 45, for 4x5-inch film: supplied with pleated bellows, a rail extension (30 cm rail + 15 cm extension[2]) and a focusing screen.
- Ultima 45D, for MF digital backs and scanning backs: supplied with bag bellows and 30 cm rail.
- Ultima 23, for roll film backs with Graflok fitting: as the 45, but with smaller standards.
- Ultima 23D, for MF digital backs: supplied with bag bellows and 30 cm rail.
- Ultima 35, for use with 35 mm DSLR body (Canon EOS 5D or EOS-1Ds; Nikon D4, D3 or D800) as the back: supplied with a special bag bellows, incorporating a bayonet for the appropriate DSLR.
Accessories available for the system include a sliding back, for rapid change between a digital back and focusing screen, rail and bellows extensions, standard compendium hood and (for the 4x5 camera only) de luxe compendium hood with a filter holder and sliding blinds, and reflex viewers, including a binocular one for the 4x5-inch camera. Because of the modular assembly of the camera, conversion kits are available which turn one option into another.
Notes
- ↑ Ultima brochure (PDF) at Cambo.
- ↑ As at October 2015, the information at Cambo describes the Ultima 45 as having a 42 cm rail, suggesting it is supplied as one piece, not a standard rail and extension.
