It took however till 1979 before the Cambo XL could actually be delivered, production lasted till 1980 when financial problems did halt it. It is estimated that only a few hundred cameras were made[1].
The Cambo XL was standard delivered with a 6x7/6x9cm roll film cassette, a coupled rangefinder and a Schneider Xenar 3.5/100mm lens in a Copal-0 leaf shutter[1].
