DEPTH OF FIELD SCALE

The scale (5) shows the range of the depth of field for the set distance. The

ranges are indicated by the correspondingly marked sections of the lines.

LENS HOOD

A square lens hood (1) that can be clicked on and clamped on is part of the

delivery scope.

When putting it on, arrange it so that one of its little screws aligns precisely

with the index for the aperture setting (2b). Make sure that it is sitting straight

on the lens front frame and tighten the clamping screw (1a) by turning it (clock-

wise). This ensures that the optical paths of the lens and the distance meter

are not cut, i.e. vignetting is prevented in the imaging and shadows in the mea-

suring field of the distance meter.

A matching metal slip cover is also supplied to protect the front lens. This

cover can only be used when the lens hood is removed. For as long as the

camera is being carried and used ready for photography, the lens hood should

always remain fitted. It provides effective protection against contrast-reducing

stray light and also against damage and soiling of the front lens, e.g. from acci-

dental fingerprints.
