Wide angle Orthar is employed while the longer extension fits the Anticomar and the Tele Makinar Make sure you have the correct extension for the lens you use The rangefinder is designed for the longer extension and does not work with the wide angle lens and the Tele Makinar To close the camera If camera has been set for near objects turn indicator back to infinity With the thumb and middle finger of right hand press the ribbed metal grips 9 on each side and push front back first close Newton finder on the front and also the protecting cover with the lens on the back How to hold the Makina Span holding grip 8 on camera front with right hand thumb behind index finger on the release knob the other fingers in front while the left hand holds camera with thumb and index finger by the focusing knob At the same time press camera slightly against forehead By this means the camera can easily be held quite steady and is always ready for action Focusing On the left hand side of camera front is the focusing screw 15 by which the crossed struts are moved with the distance indicator over the scale 21 on right side of camera front This scale gives the distance in meters or feet The focusing knob is on the left side As the 5 camera is held with the right hand the focusing knob can be turned even just before the exposure the right index finger on the release knob and the distance setting may be changed at t

Rapid Wide angle Orthar 1 68 f 7 3 cm 2 3 4 ins Owing to its short focal length a special catch spring for the lazy tongs of the camera is necessary 20 The Rapid Wide angle Orthar has its own iris diaphragm and must be interchanged like the other rapid change lens The correct image area is found either by focusing on the groundglass screen or by using a small slip on cap with lens for the optical viewfinder This cap is slipped on the viewfinder in such a way that the lens ofthe cap points toward the subject to be photo graphed The Rapid Wide angle Orthar is not coupled 13 to the range finder but the latter can be used by measuring the correct distance between subject and camera Then the lazy tongs are made to engage the catch spring provided for the wide angle lens and the distance measured then transferred to the helical mount s distance setting In this way good rapid work can be done without using the focusing screen Supplementaty lenses flot close ups The supplementary lenses shorten the focal length and also the distance between camera and object This results in a magnification of the image scale so these lenses are mainly employed for the taking of small objects for making reproductions of prints and pictures and for photographing small objects in their natural sizes The focusing is done with the micro meter focusing drive of the Makina afler the distance between camera and object has been estab

16. ide On its own back are provided a second set of rails into which the dark slide film pack adopter roll film adapter or ground glass screen can be fitted in the usual way Owing to the thickness of the shutter the extension of the bellows has to be altered to restore the correct distance between the lens and the film plane A special catch spring can be supplied by the factory to serve this purpose However the focal plane shutter and the Wide angle Orthar cannot be employed to gether on account of the two catch springs that can of course not be used simultaneously Focusing is done by the special scale provided when the focal plane shutter is in use This is usually placed over the top of the focusing scale for the Anticomar lens In those cameras that have not been designed for use with the Orthar Wide angle lens it will be found at the moving end of the lazy tongs focusing scale The distance meter should not be used with the focal plane shutter unit though it may be used to read the distance of a subject on the normal Anticomar focusing scale and the mount then altered to read this same distance on the special scale provided The lazy tongs must then be moved into the nearer position before exposure The alteration of the shutter speed is easily arranged by the plain knob The latter is pulled out gently from the camera and turned to indicate the desired speed The knob is then released care being taken that the peg on its
