Re: Camtek Ltd. - Registration Statement on Form F-3 for the
Offer and Sale of Ordinary Shares

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Israeli counsel to Camtek Ltd., an Israeli company (the "Company"), in connection with the registration on Form F-3 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of Ordinary Shares of the Company, par value of NIS 0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares"), for offer and sale from time to time in one or more offerings (the "Offer") by the Company of Ordinary Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $US 50,000,000 (the "Primary Shares") and by selling shareholders of up to 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the "Selling Shareholders Shares").

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.
 
In our capacity as your Israeli counsel in connection with your preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, we have examined the Company’s Articles of Association and have attended the meeting of the board of directors of the Company held on March 15, 2017 with respect to the Offer, which were presented to us by the Company. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the correctness and completeness of certificates of public officials and the representations set forth therein, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.
