against light as well as improves color rendition. 
If an interchangeable lens has no automatic diaphragm, the diaphragm can be 
handled manually. If a picture is taken with a long-focus lens, the left-hand and 
right-hand edges of the frame will be slightly cut off. 
With the help of a special stand the camera can be 
used for making copies of drawings, manuscripts, 
photographs. To do this use should be made of 
extension tubes by setting them between the 
camera body and the lens. To obtain the 
magnification you want either one tube or a 
combination of some tubes can be used. 
Extension tubes provided with a control pin should 
be used with lenses where no diaphragm manual 
mode switch is provided ("HELIOS-44M-4" for 
example). 
Extension tubes without control pins should be used 
with the lenses in which the aperture is set manually 
(the diaphragm mode selector switch should be set 
to "M".
