Cambo Actus : Lens Compatibility Table

 In Cambo, Cambo Actus, News

Because of the innovation of mirrorless cameras the modern view camera has more opportunities to thrive than ever before. Using the Nikon Z series as an example, because of the change in design the flange focal distance–

flange focal distance (FFD), is the distance from the mounting flange (the metal ring on the camera and the rear of the lens) to the film plane. This value is different for different camera systems. The range of this distance, which will render an image clearly in focus within all focal lengths)

 –was reduced by 30mm which means that more lens options become viable as they no longer are limited to focusing at a much farther point on the sensor plane. Let’s compare this to some other modern flange distances:

Bayonet MountFlange Distance
Nikon Z (Z6, Z7)16mm
Fujifilm X (XPro2, XT3, etc)17.7mm
Sony E (A7,A7R, A7S,A9, etc)18mm
Hasselblad XCD (X1D)18.14mm
Micro 4/3rds19.25
Canon RF (EOS-R)20mm
Leica L (Leica SL, Panasonic S1, Panasonic S1-R)20mm
Fujifilm G (GFX-S, GFX-R)26.7mm
Canon EF (5D,5DS, etc)44mm
Nikon F (D850, D750, etc)46.50mm

If you have ever written us an email asking for help choosing lenses you may have been sent the below PDF “Cheat Sheet” that describes the most commonly available lenses today, and how well they play nicely with various modern camera systems.

The Focal Flange Distance (FFD) is the distance between the image plane (image sensor) and the front of the camera interface (mount or bayonet).When focusing at infinity the distance between the lens and the image plane is the smallest. The distance between the rear of the lens and the camera standard, at infinity, determines the spaceleft for shift, tilt or swing movement of the Actus.
