PhaseOne P 65+ User Manual Download

Page: 76 / 96

Mounting or dismounting the focusing screen

The image area of the P 65+ matches the Contax image area, and
thereby the viewfinder area, this means you do not need a viewfinder
mask.

If a mask is already attached in the body, remove the mask according
to the relevant users guide.

This viewfinder mask has to be mounted underneath the CONTAX
focusing screen.

Refer to the CONTAX 645 Instruction Manual “Replacing Focusing
Screen” before the focusing screen is dis-mounted.
