EXTENDING THE VIEWFINDER ARM – the telescopic
adjustment
On the Mk2 Viewfinder Arm, an extending feature
allows the Eyepiece to move in and out from the came-
ra body to facilitate left or right eye viewing. The Arm
can be telescoped up to approximately 36 mm. Shifting
does not change size, sharpness or quality of the view
finder image.
To extend or reduce the Viewfinder Arm length, turn the
knurled ring towards the position labelled loose, then
pull or push the Arm elbow to the desired length and
retighten the knurled ring.
SWIVELLING THE VIEWFINDER ARM
The Viewfinder Arm can be swivelled in order to raise
the viewing axe or to place the Eyepiece on the right
side of the camera. When a 1000/300 Magazine is
mounted on top of the camera, the orientable Viewfin-
der Arm has to be tilted forward in order to be able to
swing the Arm over to the other side of the camera.
OPERATION
1. Loosen the Arm Rotation Friction knob first.
2. Then turn the Arm upwards to place the Eyepiece in
its vertical position.
3. Now press the hinge release knob – the brake opens
automatically when the hinge is “open” – and swing
the Arm carefully forward.
4. After pivoting the Arm to the other side of the came-
ra, close the Viewfinder again. It locks automatically
when a fixing pin entered one of the gauged holes.
