   FOCUSING

     lens mounted on either of these cameras, is
    accomplished in the same manner as with the
    standard lens. Use either the rangefinder or
  -  ground glass method as described in the cam-
    era manual. Remember, the finder image is
ll   visible only after operating the rapid wind
      lever.

matically coupled with the rangefinder. you
 can therefore set the correct focus in the same
manner as described in the camera manual
 for the standard lens.

RETINA REFLEX III and REFLEX S _
Whichever interchangeable lens is attached
to either of these cameras, the reflex finder
with full-sized ground glass always shows the
correct field of view. This field is free of
parallax with all focal length lenses and at
all distances.
  Viewing is always at the largest lens open-
ing with a subsequent automatic "stop-down"
to a previously selected lens opening.

RETINA IIIS CAMERA-Look through the
eyepiece of the camera. The outer, perma-
nent viewframe shows the field of view for
the 35mm wide-angle lens. When you attach
lenses of from 50 to l35mm in focal length,
the inner viewframe changes automatically
to show the field of view for the lens in place.
To show the field of view for the 28mm wide-
angle lens, the Kodak Retina 28 Optical
Finder is available to slide into the accessory
clip on top of the camera.
   Parallax correction in the camera finder is
automatic-the viewframes shift to compen-
sate automatically for film-to-subject  dis-
tances.

DEPTH OF FIELD
All interchangeable Retina lenses have an au-
tomatic depth-of-field indicator. you simply
read off the nearest and farthest distances that
will be in sharp focus opposite the two red
pointers, as described in the camera manual.

THE T/AUX|LTARY LENSES
These auxiliary lenses permit working at
closer camera-to-subject distances.
  The minimum focusing distances for the
135mm and 85mm telephoto lenses are 14
and 6 feet, respectively. If you wish to use
these lenses at closer distances, one of the
following auxiliary lenses is required:

KODAK RETINA TELE AUXILIARY
LEI/S T 1/32-for 85mm telephoto lens pic-
tures within the range from about 6 ft to 3 ft.
  Attach an auxiliary lens to one of the tele-
photo lenses by screwing the threaded shoul-
der of the auxiliary lens into the front of the
telephoto lens mount. It is recommended that

usedlens openings of l/5.e or smaller be
when possible.
WITH THE RETINA REFLEX III ANd RE-
FLEX S - Focus the camera either by meansof the ground glass or rangefinder. To deter-
mine depth-of-field, read off the distance fig-
ure shown opposite the index mark on the
lens; then, from the appropriate table on
pages 12 to 17, find the depth-of-field for the
lens opening in use.
WITH THE RETINA 11lS-You can meas-
ure the exact subject distance with the camera
rangefinder and the standard lens in place, or
with a tape measure. Then find the required

     focus (distance) setting for the desired auxil-
     iary lens - telephoto lens combination from1     the appropriate table on pages 12 to 17. For
     example, with the T  1, l60 auxiliary lens, you
    have measured the subject distance to be 72
     inches. In the table on page 12, opposite 72
     inches, 50 feet is shown as the setting for the
    camera focusing scale. Set the focusing scale
     for this distance. The table also shows field
     size and depth-of-field* at the various lens
     openings
       *Disregard the depth-of-field indicator on the camera with
       these auxiliary lenses.

HELPFUL HINTS
o HoId the cam?ra steady - especially with   telephoto lenses.
 o Keep lenses clean.
 o Protect.lenses by storing them in the con-
   tainers in which they were supplied.
 o Change lenses in subdued light.
o Use Kodak Retina Lens Hoods and Filters
  with Kodak Interchangeable Lenses.
