On a side note - reason why you'll need a separate adapter for USB-A instead of having the USB-A built-in to the DisplayPort adapter is that only way for USB-C to support DisplayPort data-rate is using Display Protocol, which turns a bi-directional USB connection (10Gbit/direction) to a uni-directional output port (20Gbit total). I've also tested the DisplayPort adapter on this display and it works flawlessly. I'm also an amateur photographer and shoots with a Canon 5DsR, editing my photos using an AdobeRGB LG 4K display (10-bit color to support AdobeRGB). Keep in mind that the Cinema display also needs a USB-A connection (I'm guessing to provide power to some internal circuit for link negotiation?), so you'll need a separate adapter from USB-C to USB-A.

Dual-Link DIV to DisplayPort using Apple's connector Shop USB C to HDMI Adapter 4K, BENFEI Thunderbolt 3/4 to HDMI Adapter Compatible with MacBook Pro 2019/2018/2017, MacBook Air/iPad Pro 2019, Samsung Galaxy S10/S9 and MoreAluminium Shell&Nylon Cable.I have the exact same problem and after much search, came to this solution: USB Type-C ports allow charging of the laptop, sending data to peripherals and output to multiple monitors.

This is a disadvantage because, in the future, peripherals will come with USB Type-C connectors that won’t work with the Air. Keep in mind, that this particular display is getting long-in-the-tooth so to speak and it will become increasingly difficult to find newer interfaces for older, unsupported monitors that has a small market share (Everybody had DVI, only a few could afford DL-DVI). The MacBook Air has the standard USB Type-A ports and lacks a Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports. So, you need to go from USB-C DisplayPort to DualLink DVI Adapter like the Tripp-Lite U444-003-D (The product must indicate that it supports Dual-Link DVI or it won't work) The Apple Cinema Display has a Dual Link DVI port.

While the power adapter is compatible with any USB-Cenabled device, Apple recommends pairing it with the 12-inch MacBook or the 13-inch MacBook Air with Retina display for optimal charging performance.

VGA output using USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter (sold separately) The Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go.

The 2017 MacBook has just a single USB-C port. One important thing to keep in mind is that you want to limit the number of conversions/connections you make more conversions = less reliability. When selecting an adapter, you have to know what sources you are going from to what you are going to.
