Removing and Installing

To remove the drop-in filter, press in the left and
right lock buttons and pull the filter holder straight
up out of the slot.
To install the drop-in filter, push the filter holder
straight down into the slot until it clicks into place.

• The filter holder can be installed facing either forwards

or backwards.

Using a Gelatin Filter

Lift up the holder’s retaining frame

Trim the gelatin filter as shown in the figure,
and mount it in the holder.

Return the retaining frame to its closed
position.

Because the lens optics are designed to include a
glass filter, you must always install the filter
holder, even if no gelatin filter is fitted.

The Drop-In Screw-Type Filter Holder 52 and
Drop-In Circular Polarizing Filter PL-C52 are also
available (Sold separately).
