Cambo always strives for the highest quality possible for our technical cameras. However, at the same time we also have a history of making photography accessible for photographers that just started off with using view cameras. Some prime examples are the Cambo Cadet and Cambo Explorer 4x5 camera's, they even came with a booklet to help the beginner starting off with 4x5 photography!
