replaced as one unit, very rapidly and without any
need for further adjustment. An accessory pouch
that can be attached to a belt is available to tempo-
rarily store the combined filter unit while final ad-
justments are made. This may be more convenient
than finding a clean and stable surface to rest it on
when on location.
The centre filter
The centre filter should be used at all times with
the 35 mm and the 45 mm lenses. It neutralises the
light fall-off naturally inherent in wide-angle lens-
es of this kind and so produces an even light cover-
age over the film plane. Its use is also recommend-
ed with the 75 mm lens when maximum shift is
being used.
Another M77 filter can be fitted instead of, or as
well as, the centre filter for special effects. However,
an additional filter screwed onto the centre filter
will cause some vignetting.
If you remove the centre filter to im-
prove image brightness in the view-
finder, do not forget to replace it.
Do not forget to increase the expo-
sure by 2 EV if the centre filter is used.
Lens shade adjustment
The front compartment is reserved for the lens shade.
This is placed in the holder so that the engraved
scales are visible from a position behind the camera.
When shift is used, the amount is read off the shift
scale on the camera body and this amount is trans-
ferred to the relevant scale on the lens shade. Do this
by sliding the shade upwards to align with the index
correctly. This ensures that the correct amount of
shading is provided according to the amount of shift
applied. Make sure you use the correct scale on the
shade according to the lens in use.

Attaching a magazine

After removing the focusing screen adapter, rest
the magazine on the magazine supports making
sure that they are properly engaged in the recesses
on the underside of the magazine. Carefully swing
the magazine towards the camera body and check
