film when focusing or changing lenses, since this can only be done when the mirror is lowered and the shutter open.
This shutter can also be used as an auxiliary shutter with exposures of½5 sec. or longer, when the camera is used with the extension
bellows for macro-photography or photomicrography, or with special lenses without their own shutters. This shutter has its own flash
contact (see page 54).
The standard lens of this model is the 80-mm. Zeiss Planar f 2.8. Alternative lenses cover focal lengths from 60 to 500 mm. (*).
FOR CLOSE-UP WORK Proxar lenses, extension tubes, extension bellows and a transparency copy holder are available.
OTHER ACCESSORIES INCLUDE: magazines, the sheet film adapter, the magnifying hood, eye-level pentaprism, sports finders, rapid
winding crank, winding knob with exposure meter, quick tripod coupling, lens mount adapter, microscope adapter, microscope shutter,
filters, lens hood, diffusion discs, quick focusing handles, camera grip, spirit level, flash bracket, squared screen, and ever-ready and
outfit cases.
Shooting
1. Wind the film transport by turning the transport knob one turn to a full stop. This advances the film to the next frame, lowers the
mirror, and tensions the shutter. It further sets the signal on the camera indicating that the shutter is tensioned (white), sets the
signal on the attached magazine to show that the film is advanced (white), and opens the shutter and iris diaphragm,
If you cannot turn the film transport knob, this may be due to:
(a) the last film frame being exposed, leaving no number in the film window;
(b) using the shutter at the B setting and not resetting the time catch to its original position (see below: Time exposure); or
(c) pressing the quick release button without actually taking the exposure (see below: Quick release); or
(d) trying to wind on before the shutter, particularly when set to a slow exposure, e.g. 1 sec., has fully run down.
2. Open the reflex hood for a preview of the picture you intend to take.
3. Set the exposure value. The shutter rim carries a range of numbers engraved in red from 2 to 18. These are exposure values for
correct exposure. Each exposure value represents a range of shutter-speed aperture combinations of equivalent exposure. To set the
exposure value, slightly push back the wormed lever on the rim behind the exposure values and move the triangular mark beside the
lever to the appropriate exposure value (obtained from exposure table or a meter) on the scale. Intermediate exposure values, e.g,
10½, 11½, etc., can also be set.
4. Select the aperture-speed combination by turning the milled shutter ring. Aperture and speed scales here move together. The
figures opposite each other represent alternative combinations corresponding to the exposure value set. Again only the aperture and
speed actually opposite the black central index line on top of the shutter are the ones to use. To set apertures and speeds separately
(e.g, for flash shots) adjust first the shutter speed and then the aperture on the exposure value setting ring.
5. Frame the image on the reflex screen and determine the exact field to be photographed.
6. Release the shutter gently. Keep the release button depressed for the duration of the exposure. This is of some importance when
using slow speeds; if you let the release button go earlier, the auxiliary shutter stops the exposure.

The hood release opens the focusing hood and the magnifier. The rear flash contact serves for synchronizing the auxiliary focal
plane shutter in the back of the camera. The loading key advances the film for the first exposure. The synchronizing lever sets the
