TENSION CONTROL OF FOCUSING MOVEMENT
The focus tension is easily adjusted by using the Swift adjustment
wrench. This wrench fits the tension collar found on the focusing
controls, between the knob and upright support. A clockwise turn
of this collar moves it toward the upright support and increases
tension, while a counter clockwise turn moves the collar toward the
knob and decreases tension (see illustration).
