Cambo WRS lenses are either Schneider or Rodenstock. Since Schneider have exited this market, only Rodenstock lenses can be purchased new, whereas Schneider are only available in the pre-owned market. The price also depends if the lens is mounted on a Cambo Tilt/Swing panel or normal panel. The cost of a lens in T/S panel can be 1-2K higher than the same lens in normal panel.

In general the SK lenses are relatively less expensive when compared to Rodenstock lenses.

Which lenses (or focal lengths) are you interested in?
Which digital back are you going to use?
