  • Page 19: Viewing And Focusing With The 127Mm And 150Mm Lenses

    The image shown in Figure 2-3 can be seen by looking through the eyepiece of either the model 600 or model 600SE cameras. In the model 600SE camera the viewfinder frame is adjustable for the 127mm and 150mm lenses. The number that appears just below the top right framing line indicates the lens that has been selected.

  • Page 20: Looking Through The Eyepiece

    When focusing beyond 10 feet, the picture is composed within the limits of the eight framing dots. The Models 600 and 600SE are equipped with a coincidence-type rangefinder in which two images come together within a circle when in focus. Familiarize yourself with it by setting the lens at infinity.

  • Page 21: Operation Of The Viewfinder

    The construction of the viewfinder built into the model 600 and 600SE camera is shown in Figure 2-4. The model 600 has framing lines for the 127mm lens only. The model 600SE has two sets of framing lines and lens indicators for the 127mm and 150mm lenses.

  • Page 22: Viewing And Focusing With The 75Mm Lens And Accessory Viewfinder

    On the model 600SE, a metal mask (with a pattern of holes) blocks the light from one of the framing images. Moving the viewfinder selector switch moves this metal mask to reveal one framing image on the film, and blocks the other framing image.

    Unlock the viewfinder by turning the locking screw opposite to the direction of the arrow on the viewfinder. When fully unlocked, the locking screw can be seen in its topmost position. If this locking screw is partially down, it will prevent the viewfinder from being fully seated on the accessory show.

    Leave pencil marks on the distance scale, so infinity tracking error can be compared to near distance tracking error. Before making an adjustment to the Model 600SE camera, you must compare the collimation tracking error measured sighting through each interchangeable lens. This comparison will avoid needless adjusting back and forth of the three lenses and viewfinder.

    c. Place the focal plane plate No. CRR-12262 into the film holder as if it were a film pack (Figure 5-17). Check that plate is seated to the right. Obtain sharp focus of the scratch on the focal plane. d. Set the aperture to the smallest number (largest opening). Aperture 127mm lens = f/4.7 150mm lens = f/5.6...
