Cambo Passportrait (Pasfoto Camera)

The Cambo Passportrait (manufactured by the renowned Dutch studio and view camera maker Cambo) was a staple in professional photography studios and document service shops throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Built with a heavy-duty metal body, the camera typically incorporates four matched lenses (often 125mm focal length optics coupled to a single central leaf shutter mechanism) firing simultaneously. Internal dividers split the film plane so that a single exposure creates four identical passport-sized portraits onto a single sheet of instant packfilm (such as Polaroid 669/100-series or Fujifilm FP-100C) or standard $4\times5$ inch sheet film.

Certain configurations featured integrated viewfinders with framing grids to align portraits precisely for official documentation standards. As peel-apart instant packfilms are no longer commercially produced, these unit cameras are predominantly acquired today by camera collectors, photography history enthusiasts, or avant-garde analog artists seeking unique multi-exposure aesthetics.
