     To open the Mokino
     Hold the comero by ifs long side with fhe left hond ond drow
      ihe front forwqrd with thumb ond middle finger of the right
     hqnd until the slruts snop in oudibly. Mqke sure thot bofh the

    The Mokino hos snop-in posifions,one for lhe shorler ond the
     olher for the longer exlension. The short extension must be
     used when the Ropid Wide-ongle-Orlhor  is employed, while
     the longer extension fits the Anticomor ond lhe Tele Mokinor.
    Moke sure you hove lhe correct exlension for lhe lens you use.
    The rongefinder is designed for the longer exfension ond does
      nol work  wifh the wide-ongle lens ond the Tele-Mokinor.

     To close fhe comero

      The ronge-finder of the Ploubel Mqkino  is bosed upon the
       "coincidenceprinciple", i. e. it conioins 2 mirrors, one rigid
      ond one od jusloble,lhe lqtter of which is moved by f he focusing
       device of the comero. When looking fhrough the eye-pieceofft"
       fhe ronge-finderyou will see o reclongulor imoge of yellowish

      moves over fhe yellowish one; when both pictures coincide
       the piclure is correctly focused ond obsolutely shorp.
       For using lhe ronge-fin'der,firsl pull out ihe Mokino until both
        slruls snop in posirion. Now  pull out the nickled lelescopic
       eye-piece of the ronge-finder ond look through  it. When the

objects will show 2 different picfures, side by side. By lurning
lhe focusing screw until both picfures coincide, you will get
lhe correcf distqnce ond definition. Pleose olwoys keep in
mind fhot the "sine quo non" of oll ronge-findersis fo look'
stroight through lhe eye-piece,nof obliquely (sidewoys).

For objects in motion the ronge-finder moy olso be used os o

The ronge-finder of fhe Mokino is coupled only fo the Anti-

      C Sockets for two extension floshes

I mporlonl  recommendqf  ions :

  1) Prior to firing the flosh the shulter musf be cocked.
  2) Keep oll elecfricol contocts scrupulously cleon ond dry.
  3) Use fresh U2 botteriesonly, speciolflosh boiieriei with ot
    leost q currenl of 3 omps ore besf.
 4) Tesf botteries with  1/400 second os lhis exposure time
    requires fhe highest omount of currenl. lf one single pres-
    . sure on button F sufficeslo releose the shulter the bolleries
    ore in working order.
 5) The floshgun should be clomped firmly  lo the comero
    olherwise fhe electric connectionsmoy nol be secure. The
    clomping screw should be firmly tightened.
 6) Keep the cops of the floshbulbs dry olherwise they will
    corrode ihe contocts in the sockefs. To ensure q cleon
    metollic surfoce insert bulb in socket ond rolste  it q few
    limes lo ond fro.
 7) The sockei B fits bulbs with ES-cops.When bulbs with
   A.S.C.C.-cops musl be used on odopter (Order No. BE
    1/13)should be employed.
 8) To  protecl the lozy-tong mechonism from domoge the
   Mokinq musf be held firmly by the front plofe when the
   floshgun is mounled or dismounled!
 9) When using floshbulbs moke sure to odhere to the instruc-
    lions for use wilh regord to guide-numbers, deloy ond
   generol operolion.
10) For floshbulbs with q high currenf consumplion or for the
    firing of more thon 2 floshbulbs simultoneouslyemploy
   4 botleries ond use exiensionfube (order No. BE 1120)for
    botfery - conloiner.
