The Ovrrce 120 Cennsne was designed for outstanding performance and to produce
consistently the excellent pictures which modern optics are capable of producing
but which they can not produce when built into less precise instruments. It has
one of the finestphotographic lenses ever produced, designed especially for SrrvrnnoN
BnorHrns, fwc. and built into a high precision camera body. The Onnnca 120 will
consistently give you optimum definition because its brilliant over-sized range oulstqnding
finder is easier and faster to focus and your negative is kept absolutely flat by performonce
means of the exclusive retractable pressure plate. No fear of blurring pictures
due to jarring the camera because it is so designed as to give you a good, steady
grip.The Ortrce 120 incorporates a shutter speed of from one secondto L/400
of a second. It produces 4 x 5 picture quality on 120 film.
The Olvrnce 120 Cavrrne is fully automatic. It has automatic double exposure
prevention and automatic parallax compensation. The Autofilm Transport
fullyautomatically cocks the shutter and adr.'ances the film for next exposure
qulomqticin split seconds. Simultaneously, a red dot appears in a small window in-
dicating the camera is set for your next picture. The versatile Autofilm
Transport also automatically locks the Onnnce L20 and closes the film
window after loading.View original page 4Page 5 · Read text
As the shutter is released, an automatic film pressure plate is
actuated to keep the film precisely flat in the focal plane during
exposure which means consistent maximum sharpness ! The
exclusivefilm plate, one of the most important innovations in the Ource L20
Celrnna, is ground perfectly flat, during manufacture, oD a
pressure plote surface grinder for micro-accuracy. It is retractable and
automatically releases the film after each exposure. Ourca's
film pressure plate is a major contribution toward the su-
perb picture quality always yours with the OuBce L20.
The large, over-sized range finder with its brilliant, magni-
brilliqnt fied image and large field finds the optimum point of
over-sized definition without a moment's hesitation even in poor lighting, oD Ovrnca characteristic indispensable for effec-
rqnge finder tive flash photography. The unusually large field is en-
larged IYz times for extremely critical focusing. The
view finder shows the image at 2/sof natural size which
is also unusually large.
The Oprcce I20 Ceurne is built for quick handling
rqpid and instant action, rapid sequence photography. It
is fully automatic, has an easy-to-focus range finder, sequence a rapid Autofilm Transport, a convenient shape and
its controls are so located as to make possible Tu:o-

The view ffnder and range finder of the Omega 120 are purposely formed by separate
optical systems. This is desirable for best performance and sensitivity. The view finder
must present to the observer the entire field to be photographed, necessarily at a reiluceil
scale. However, the range finder must, for best sensitivity, show the center of the image
at an enlarged scale. Since one system calls for magnification and the other for reduction,
they obviously cannot be combined without impairing the performance of the range finder.
lhe view finder is an inverted telescope (inverted because it is reducing instead
of magnifuing) which shows the scene to be photographed at approximately two- view thirds of its actual size. It is fastened to the top of the omega 120 by a hinge which
finder forms part of an automatic parallax compensation, (The term ,,parallax" de-
scribes the small but not negligible difterence between the view finder image .:
and the image formed by the camera lens upon the film when the camera is 'j
focused at distances smaller than infinity. This difrerence is caused by the fact i
that the view finder is displaced or ofiset relative to the optical axis of the camera
lens.) The automatic parallax compensation tilts view finder slightly when the
focusing mechanism of the camera is adjusted to distances smaller than infinity.

There is a large number of flash attachments (battery cases)
flqsh available which will work properly with this camera. A flash attachment consists of a reflector, a lamp socket and a container
qttqchment with a battery. It has an electrical connector which must be
connected to the contact (7) of the shutter. Do not use any of
the older types of synchronizers which contain a mechanical
or electrical mechanism to release the shutter itself. The shutter
should be released as described in section 6 by means of the
release lever (9).
A particularly rapid way to use an Ovrrcn 120 Cevrnne with
flash is provided by the Omegaflash Unit which makes a very
rapid succession of flash pictures possible because it automati-
Omegoflqsh cally changes its own lamps after each picture. The Omegaflash consists of a housing which can be attached

lamps and which is rotated automatically after each picture
while the operator changes the film by pulling the Autofilm

The flash gun is fastened to the camera by means of a screw which
engages the thread otherwise used for the tripod. This screw can be
how to rotated by small knob (26). See Fig. 18. When the flash gun

Omegqf lqsh which engages a corresponding hole located near the film
winding knob. This pin keeps the flash gun from rotating. The gear ,, qttqch ment mechanism is engaged to knob (17) bV means of two prongs which
enter corresponding holes within knob (17). A knurled knob (26A)
permits the rotating of knob (17) after the flash gun has been
attached to the camera. It is, therefore, possible to load the camera in
the customary way without detaching the flash gun. Instead of
turning knob (17) for the initial film winding, knob (26A) is used.
The lamp turret is visible in Fig. 20 and can be attached to the
threaded end of the rotating shaft (27) by means of knurled knob
l o m p (28). (Turn in a clockwise direction.) The lamp turret contains
turret lamp sockets of conventional design which can be loaded
with flash lamps in the usual manner'; i.e., the two pins on either'
side of the lamp socket enter corresponding slots, the lamp
is depressed and slightly rotated in a clockrvise direction.
Occasionally when the lamp turret is attached to the flash guD,
the lamp within the reflector will not be exactly in its center'.In
this case, the entire turret can be rotated in a clockwise
direction until one of the lamps is in the proper position. (No
great accul'acy is required.) It will be found that the tun'et is
held with some slight friction which can be easily overcome.

Whenever the operator resets the camera by means of pulling
handle (16), the lamp turret will make U6th of a revolution
placing a fresh lamp into the center of the reflector. (Notr: The
relatively large cutout of the reflector causes only a very slight
loss of light. Approximately 60% of the lieht falling upon an
object comes from the lamp itself and approximately 407o
lomp lurret from the reflector. The cutout causes less than r/E of. the 40/s to
(continued) be lost; i.e., no more than L0% of the total light, which is
negligible.)
The ease with which the lamp turret is attached to or detached
from the flash gun by the knurled knob (28) means even greater
rapidity, convenience and continuity in using flash. An extra
turret may be pre-loaded with flash lamps. The loaded turret
replaces the used turret enabling the operator to take another
set of rapid sequence flash exposures.
The flash gun is equipped with a folding support (29) which
permits the flash gun and the camera together to be placed con-
veniently upon a flat surface when not in use.
Since this flash gun is equipped with a capacitor, batteries do
not require renewal for long periods of time. When the occasion
exlrq does arise, however, remove the lower cover from the flash Bur,
as shown in Fig. 23, whereupon the batteries become easily
turref accessible. Three batteries are used, size A-A, manufactured by
most battery manufacturers (glL6" dia., L7/e" long, Lr/z volts).
Be sure that the batteries are inserted in the proper direction.
A corresponding inscription showing this direction is found on
the inside of the flash gun housing.
