Due to the larger diameter lens opening on Type 2 lenses, the

Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve need to be installed from the rear

(bayonet end) of the lens. Use the housing Lens Release Control

and remove the camera lens from the camera body, after the

camera and lens have been installed in the housing.

The Zoom Clamp has springs so it can be expanded to fit over

the Zoom Ring of the lens as shown in ((FFiigg.. CC)). 

Install the Zoom Clamp with the extension tabs toward the rear

element of the lens. After installing the Zoom Clamp and Gear

Sleeve ((FFiigg.. D

D &

& EE)), install the Lens Port and rotate the Zoom

Ring on the lens. If the Zoom Ring and Gear Sleeve do not mesh

properly, install the rubber strips (supplied) to the inside

diameter of the Zoom Clamp as shown ((FFiigg.. FF)). 

Two thicknesses of rubber strips are provided. Start by installing

the thinnest rubber strips. If the Zoom Clamp still is not tight

enough and meshes improperly with the Gear Sleeve, use the

thicker rubber strips. Reinstall the Zoom Clamp, Sleeve, and

Port. Mesh Gear Sleeve teeth with Black Housing Drive Gear

Before installing the lens port and checking operation, make sure

the teeth on the Gear Sleeve mesh with the teeth on the housing

Drive Gear ((FFiigg.. GG)).. When the port is installed, it will lock the

Gear Sleeve in place. After installing the port, rotate the housing

Zoom Control Knob to see that the Gear Sleeve is properly

rotating the lens Zoom ring.

Noottee::

Ikelite DSLR housings are designed for auto-focus DSLR 

cameras and lenses. Manual focusing is not recommended. If

you desire to manually focus a lens, the zoom clamp must be

moved onto the lens Manual Focus Ring and you must use the

housing zoom control knob to manually focus. This will result in

loss of zoom capability.
