A3.2 PCO F-MOUNT ADAPTER
Make sure that the adapter is set correctly, as the image intensifier
can be irreparably damaged by an accidentally fully opened aperture.
The aperture should always be closed as far as possible to protect
the image intensifier, i.e. the adapter ring has to be rotated so that
the mark is in line with the small circle (aperture closed).
PCO's proprietary F-mount adapter for lenses
with automatic diaphragm. Allows to set
manually the lens aperture by turning the ring
on the adapter .
F-mount lenses
without automatic
diaphragm can be
fastened to the
camera's mount but
the aperture not
changed.
Adjust Back Focal Length
To adjust the back focal length (e.g. you
cannot focus to infinity or to the minimum
object distance of your lens), proceed as
follows:
Set the focus of your lens to infinity. Look at
an object in infinity and generate a sharp
image by turning the adapter. Use the
rearmost ring to fix the setting .
Matching Lenses with Automatic Diaphragm

is only electronic).
Zeiss: all ZEISS ZF.2 lenses (Otus, Milvus, Interlock, Distagon,
