Olympus E-M5 II, Actus, Actar

This may be interesting to those who've been thinking about mating a mirrorless camera to a compact view camera. http://petapixel.com/2016/06/11/review-cambo-actar-24mm-f3-5-mirrorless-camera/

If only the bellows didn't pop loose from the front and rear standards I would be seriously interested in this camera. Interesting though that Butcher has adopted this rig, that has to say something positive for it. Thanks for the interesting link.

I've been lucky with the standard version--no issues using it with enlarger lenses or the Actar. I've read the bellows are sometimes a bit stiff at first and that once they're broken in they become more flexible.
