Adiustment Instructions For Lenses
        Ordered Subsequently For Super Technikq V 4x5"
 The SuperTechnikoY 4x5" for the first time permits fo selfodiust oll odditio-
  nolly purchosed rongefinder-coupled lenses. Following the instructions below,
  exoct correspondence between rongefinder ond ground gloss imoge is obtoined.
  l.  Push the premotched coupling com supplied with eoch lens fully into the
   com mount, until on oudible click is noticed. Pull out lens stondord, insert
     lens ond slide infinity stops inio the roils of the upper trock.
 2. To guorontee exoct odiustment, ottoch the tronsporent test imoge with
     scotch tope to the inside of o verticol window. Position the comero, mount-
    ed on o suitoble fripod, porollel to the test imoge of o distonce of obout
     l5 feet (5 m) (picture'l).
,      lt is very importont to exocily center ond level the comero both verticolly
    ond horizontolly. To focilitote this operotion the use of o Linhof spirit level
    (ZYW) is recommended. When looking stroight through the rongefinder
     oculor, the height odiustment of the comero should be mode in such o woy
     thot the smoll circle of the rongefinder imoge oppeors in the center of the
     reference line A-  B (picture 2).
     Exoct olignment of the comero in relotion to the test imoge is essentiol for
    the entire focusing ronge, it becomes most criticol, however, for close
    distonce focusing below 5 feet.
 3. To evoluote criticol shorpness on the ground gloss, o good opticol mogni-
     fier (Linhof opticol mognifier, 8 x, ZYL) must be used. Before beginning the
     finol odiustment, the mognifier oculor should be focused criticolly on the
    groin of the ground gloss.
 4. When looking through the rongefinder oculor, oim ot the line A  B ond                                                                      -     turn focusing knob until this line is perfectly focused in the ronge finder.
    Lock the extension releqse to prevent on olterotion of the focusing position
   now obtoined. Press the spring-tensioned grips slightly ond move the lens
    stondord olong the upper trock, until the squore pottern of the test imoge
    qppeors completely shorp on the ground gloss (use opiicol mognifier).
    Cross-check by chonging the focusing ofter releosing the locking lever.
    Focus the test poitern once more on the ground gloss by turning the focus-
    ing knob. lf lens odiustment wos correct, the rongefinder imoge must now
     fully coincide with the reference line A     B.                                          -     ln cose of ony deviotion, repeot the obove procedure, uniil the required
    odiustment is obtoined.
 5. lf odiustment wos performed correctly, the rongefinder must now coincide
    with the ground gloss over the entire focusing ronge. Finolly, push the
     infinity stops ogoinst the lens stondord mount ond Jock in this position by
    fostening the set screws.

                   lf odditionol infinity stops hove lo be mounted between olreody provided stops
          proceed os follows:
          'L Remove on one side (1 )one of ihe olreody provided poir of infinity siops
             which prevent oddiiionol lenses to be mounted. To do lhis, loosen sei screws
           ond push the stop from the roil.
          2. Adiust new infinity stop os described before ond lock ii by refostening the
                set screws.
         3. Pull up ihe second remoining slop shown in red colour on picture (2) ond
             push Iens stondord fully ogoinst  ii.
          4. Slide infinity stop removed occording to l. bock on the comero roil until  it
              touches the lens slondord. Re-fosten set screws.
         5. Proceed in exoctly the some monner on the opposite roil with the remoining
                  infinity siop.
                  lf the olreody mounted stop is positioned ioo close io the new infinity stop so
            thoi on exoct olignment is not possible, speciol infinity stops con be delivered.
        When ordering new lenses it is recommended to stqte which lenses ore olreody
          coupled to the comero.

Mounling of Distqnce Scole on the Scole Stoge
1 Remove scole sioge (see ill. 2).
2. Push new distonce scole into ihe open end of the scole stoge ofter removing
   the screw (poge 1, ill. 3). Do not lock.
3. Push scole sioge on scole mount. Scole stoge must be properly engoged.
4. Move distonce scole on scole sioge until the index pointer on the upper
   irock coincides exocily with the infinity mork of lhe distonce scole. li  is
    essentiol ihoi the comero trock is in zero position.
5. Remove scole stoge corefully ond lock ihe odiusted distonce scole on its
   bottom by fostening ihe screw (1).
6. Re-inserf scole stoge.
lf on olreody odiusied dislqnce scole prevents the exoct odiustment of o new
scole, remove the old scole ofter loosening the locking pin. Re-insert ofter
odiusting the new scqle. Full coincidence with the second index pointer on
infinity is required. lf it is not possible to odiust the new scole opposife one of
the two index pointers, o new scole stoge is required.
