D. The standard magnifier supplied with the waist-level finder has a
power of -1.5 diopters. This can be exchanged for others with powers
of -4.5, -3.5, -2.5, -0.5, +0.5, and +1.5 diopters. These optional acces-
sories should be purchased to suit the user's eyesight, if necessary.
Simply rotate the magnifier frame in a counterclockwise direction to
unscrew. Attach in the reverse manner.
A. The aperture ring is rotated in either direction to set the required
f-number opposite the white index dot. Having the aperture ring
click-stop at intermediate settings is also possible.
B. All interchangeable lenses for the Bronica SQ-B have automatic
lens diaphragms and the focusing screen is always viewed at the full
aperture. This provides the brightest possible image. However,
depressing the depth of field preview lever will stop the lens aperture
down to the pre-selected lens opening for the depth-of-field preview
on the focusing screen.
* The aperture ring must not be adjusted while the depth-of-field
preview lever is being depressed.
* Attached to the other camera bodies, such as SQ-A, SQ-Ai, is a finder
incorporated exposure meter. The PS/B 80mm lens activates the cam-
era and its exposure meter related features.
* The Bronica SQ-B attached with the PS/B 80mm will not activate a
finder unit with a built-in exposure meter.
