Clear the mirror shutter as described in Step 1 so that it is rotated
safely inside the body and the aperture opening could be seen from
the lens port opening. Make sure that the battery is removed from
the body before proceeding further.
Remove the centering rod from the alignment jig and position the
jig over the lens port ring with the jig's engravings facing out. Make
sure the alignment jig is flush against the surface of the lens port
ring.
While holding the jig in place and looking at the aperture plate, ca-
refully slide the appropriate side (16 / Super16) of the centering rod
through the jig and into the port until it peeks through the outside
of the aperture plate. If the centering rod is not centered to the aper-
ture plate and cannot slide through its opening, gently move the
lens port ring until it can do so.
For 16 centering, you'll notice that the 16 end of the centering rod
is narrower than the aperture and can easily fit in place. In this case,
make sure that the right edge of the centering rod is flush against
the right edge of the aperture opening.
For Super16 centering, make sure the Super16 end of the centering
rod fits evenly through the aperture opening.
When the centering rod is aligned accordingly, firmly secure the
screws of the lens port ring.
On Aaton len ports, replace the lens lock ring by screwing it onto
the lens port ring until it stops, then backing it off until the lock
stop knob screw hole is at the 2 o'clock position. Install the lock
stop knob and secure its screw.
Install the port cap to check that the lens lock ring functions pro-
perly.
Method 2 - via Lens Tracking
Replace the lens lock ring and lock stop knob as described immedia-
tely above.
Check that the three allen screws of the lens port ring are just loose
enough that the ring can move independently of the lens holder.
