Focusing in the Near Range

Set the lens to 3

feet (1 meter) as shown in illustration 1. Pull the focusing ring forward, and

turn it past the end stop into the 35 inch (88 cm) position (illustration 2). The lens remains

ocked

in this position until the optical finder attachment is pushed home into its special fitting. This

releases the focusing movement for the close-up range (illustration 3). You can shoot with the

camera held in the hand or mounted on the tripod. You focus the lens automatically with the

coupled rangefinder. The finder image frame is still coupled with the focusing movement in the

near range for parallax-compensated focusing and viewing.

As the depth of field decreases rapidly at

close subject distances, it is advisable to

work with a small stop, say f/8 or f/11.
