1. GENERAL GUDIELINES 

 
The PCS ARSAT 4,5/55 (PCS - Perspective Correction by Shifting) is designed for professional photography with medium format 

SLR cameras: KIEV-6

С

, KIEV-60, KIEV 88, ARAX, PENTAGON SIX, SALUT. 

This camera lens is a wide-angle, nine element complex high aperture optical system (pic.1), producing high quality photographs. 
The lens has an optical block shifting mechanism in parallel to the film plane that provides the photographer with the ability to 

correct the image perspective. In architectural and product photography, these lenses offer a means to produce unique results, normally 
associated with the use of large format cameras.. 

The lens has a special multi-layer coating (

МС

), improving image quality and increasing contrast range by enhancing integral light 

transmission and decreasing the dispersion of passing light. 

The camera lens operates in the temperature range from minus 15 to 45°

. (5 to 113  F)
