The back itself also has a pc connection that fires when the back receives the fire signal so you attach your flashes to the back. When the shutter fires it fires the pc connection as well which fires the back. The shutter contains a standard pc (old-fashioned flash-) connection that you run to the input jack of the back. Now you need a couple of cables to trigger the shutter and the back.The outside connections have an extra locking button to prevent your expensive lens or back from accidently falling off while removing them. The only difference is between inside (where the bellows fit) and outside. In practice the front and back squares are the same, so everything also fits the other way around.Between the squares, so between the lens and the sliding back, you need to put a bellows to make it dark, so no light reaches the sensor that hasn’t gone through the lens.The sliding is for you to be able to switch between groundglass view and the digital back. The digital back needs to be attached with a sliding back that fits onto the back square of the viewcamera.You can unscrew your lens / shutter combination and screw it back together over the hole in the lens board. A lens board for Ultima 23D will fit in the front square of the viewcamera and has a hole for Copal 0 shutters (which is standard for the Cambo Ultima). To attach a lens you need a lens board.
It is best to buy a lens including a shutter, to be sure they fit and work together. Copal used to make these until 2013, nowadays Rodenstock makes a replacement aperture, but this comes without shutter because modern backs have an electronic shutter capability. There are different shutter sizes, most common is Copal No. You have the lenses, these consist of a front and back part with thread that can be screwed onto a shutter.This makes it possible to adjust perspective and focus in all possible ways. Mostly it consists of a rail with two squares above it that can be moved in all directions compared to the rail / each other. You have the body, which is the actual viewcamera.It also has the card slot and / or tethering connection. You have your digital back, which is the sensor and all electronics associated with it, usually powered by its own battery or through a cable.With a viewcamera system everything is separate. Large Format viewcamera with digital backĪ compact camera has every part of the camera in one: the lens, the shutter, the controls, the light-tight body and the sensor. Still not much for a high end digital viewcamera system, but given the age of the components you should be able to get this cheaper with a little patience. 🙂Ĭonfession upfront: I jumped for this system when I thought I would be able to get it complete for around 5.000 euros, but eventually it cost double that amount and seriously hurt my savings.

Please feel free to ask additional questions in the comments section, I love to talk about gear.
This blog post is for newbies like me to get some pointers that I missed initially. When I finally sold the Pentax to get this system two years ago, not all went as planned. After serious consideration five years ago I chickened out and bought a Pentax 645D. Many years I was hesitant to buy into a large format / medium format viewcamera system, such as the Cambo Ultima 23D with Leaf Aptus 22.
