CF Lens Adapter

CF Lens Adapter

The CF Lens Adapter (3043500) allows the use of all C-type lenses 
from the V System on H cameras. Integral processors for data con-
version bridge the two systems to access a number of the H-display 
and lens-control functions. The adapter allows:

• 

light metering at full aperture.

• 

electronic focus confirmation on viewfinder display.

• 

exploitation of databus connection with CFE lenses.

• 

access to shutter speeds (manually set on lens) from 

1s–1/500s including B and T mode.

Functions such as autofocus and continuous drive are an integral 
part of the H System only so they are therefore not available when 
C lenses are used. Likewise, as the light measuring and aperture/
shutter controls are also different between the two systems, then 
camera operation differs too. Some other restrictions also apply 
regarding specific lenses or combinations of lenses/converters. 
Operation of the adapter is not difficult but requires an awareness 
of certain points that contrast with regular H operation. You can 
use the adapter immediately by going through the procedures 
described under the Quick Start heading but a thorough reading 
of this manual is advised to ensure optimum performance.
 

ENG

The figures beside the headings refer to the relevant illustrations 
for that section. Rotation directions are described as seen when 
facing the camera.

 

Please note that the adapter requires firmware version 9.0.0 or later installed 
in the camera! (see camera manual for details).

C-type lenses from the V System have changed over the years in 
functionality and appearance. The illustrations therefore show some 
variations that might not match the lenses you are using. The later 
CFE/i models, for example, have a locking device on the PC flash con-
nector whereas earlier models did not. Please see the relevant user 
manual for details.

a.  Align the red adapter locating index on the rear of the adapter with the red 

index on the camera body (illus 2) and rotate the adapter clockwise until it 
clicks into place. 

b.  Align the index on the lens with the red lens locating index on the adapter 

(illus 3) and rotate the lens clockwise until it clicks into place. 

c.  Attach the connecting cable to the PC socket on the lens (illus 4).
d.  The grip LCD on the camera will automatically display the lens and converter 

choice screen (such as in illus 5). 

e.  Rotate the front control wheel to choose the lens and the rear control wheel 

to choose the converter (or No converter). For example, 150 mm lens with 
‘No converter’, as in illus 6. Finally, press Save (DRIVE button) to store the 
setting and automatically access the standard screen. 

f.  The focal length of the lens chosen (illus 7) as well as a ’X’ symbol for a con-

verter if chosen (illus 8) now appears on the LCD beneath the AF button.

g.  Ensure the depth-of-field button on the lens is in the off position, illus 9.
h.  When measuring the light, the camera will display setting information 

which has to be transferred to the lens, for example 1/60s at f/11 as in illus 
10. See relevant lens user manual if you are not familiar with the settings 
on C lenses. This procedure varies according to the type of lens:

  

C/CF/CFi lenses — Rotate the front control wheel on the grip to scroll 
through the list of aperture/shutter combinations visible on the grip LCD 
and the viewfinder LCD. Transfer the chosen shutter speed / aperture combi-
nation settings (or EV visible on grip LCD) to the lens.
