It's true. Without going to a fisheye the shortest focal length for
RB/RZ lenses was 50mm... a bit long even for full-frame. But one can
certainly build panos as I regularly do now anyhow.

Looks like an interesting machine for macro and longer lenses, probably
useless for architectural work where you would need wide angle lenses.

Subject: [OM] Cambo Actus (view camera controls for mirrorless bodies)
http://www.clydebutcher.com/photographs/8
In the link I posted earlier I noticed that the photos marked as "New"
in the link above have not been taken with Clyde's customary huge view
cameras. Rather they have been taken using the Cambo Actus
<https://www.cambo.com/en/news/cambo-actus-mini-view-camera-introduction/>
along with a 36MP Sony a7r (combo sold here for $3990)
<https://captureintegration.com/cambo-actus-and-sony-a7r-bundle/> using
Mamiya RZ lenses. On Clyde's own pages he calls it Cambo "Artus" rather
than the correct name "Actus". Prints are made on an Epson Sylus 4800 or
9800 using Ultra-chrome K3 ink.
I'm quite astonished to see him using digital. His prints are still very
expensive.
$4,000 for the rig is not cheap but you can still get Mamiya RZ or RB lenses
pretty cheap. <https://www.keh.com/search/list?pmnt=Mamiya+RZ>
Incidentally, the Cambo Actus can be mounted on lots of other bodies
including full-frame and m.4/3. Lens plates are available for a #0 hole,
M39 thread, Leica R, Hasselblad, Mamiya RB-RZ or Nikon F.
An interesting development for landscape and architectural photographers.
