Zoom Clamp And Gear Sleeve Installation - Ikelite 6843.72 Instruction Manual

ZOOM CLAMP and GEAR SLEEVE INSTALLATION

Determine the type of lens being used on the camera.
Type 1 lenses have a lens opening that is NOT larger in diameter than
the zoom ring. The zoom clamp and sleeve can be attached over the lens
opening with the lens attached to the camera in the housing, Diagram I,
page 20
Type 2 lenses have a lens opening that IS larger in diameter than the zoom
ring. The zoom clamp and sleeve must be attached from the bayonet mount
end of the lens. The lens must then be attached after the camera has been
secured in the housing, Diagram J, page 20.
Type 1 Lens
There are 2 different sets of Zoom Clamps and Gear Sleeves provided with the
housing. Both sets look similar, but are NOT identical. DO NOT mix the pieces
from both sets. Use the suggested Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve for your lens.
Go to ikelite.com for a complete list of compatible lenses.
The Zoom Clamp has springs so it can be expanded to fit over the Zoom Ring
of the lens. Install the Zoom Clamp with the extension tabs toward the rear
element of the lens. After installing the Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve, install
the Lens Port and rotate the Zoom Ring on the lens. If the Zoom Ring and Gear
Sleeve do not mesh properly, install the rubber strips (supplied) to the inside
diameter of the Zoom Clamp as shown in Diagram H, page 19.
