Kodak SPECIAL User Manual

2 -I N CH,'. 3 . 5 LEN S: The focal length of this lens is sufficient to give
good telephoto effects, yet not too long for hand-held use when extreme
care is exercised
in holding the camera steady.
2%-INCH, '.2.7 LENS: With this lens excellent telephoto effects can
be
obtained; its largest opening (f.2.7) permits making exposures
under very poor light conditions .
3-1 NCH '.4.5 TELEPH OTO LENS: This lens with the j.1.9lens make
an ideal combination for turret use, permitting medium shots of subjects
followed by "close-ups" without changing camera position. The 3-
inch lens is useful for athletic events also. It gives a larger image
than the 272-inch lens, yet is not bulky when mounted on the turret.
4-INCH '.2.7, 4%- AND 6-INCH '.4.5 TELEPHOTO LENSES:
With these long focus lenses quite distant objects appear to be at very
close range.
At a distance of 100 feet the field of the 4-inch lens is 7
by 972 feet, the field of the 6-inch lens is about 472 by 6 feet. These
lenses are very useful
in filming natural history subjects or for taking
"candid" close-ups of people at a distance.
CLOSE RANGE WORK: To work closer than the focusing scales per-
mit, write for instructions on adjusting the lenses. For even greater
magnification send for particulars on auxiliary lenses and lens exten-
sion tubes.
FOCUSING TELEPHOTO LENSES: Extreme care must be llsed in
focusing these lenses, because the depth of foclls is so limited. Use the
reflex finder as described on page 42.
EXPOSURE WITH TELEPHOTO LENSES: The largest diaphragm on
the 3-, 472- and 6-inch telephoto lenses is j.4 . 5, on the 2-inch lens it is
j.3 .5. Follow the exposure table on page 76 or the exposure guide on
the camera, substituting j.4.5 for j.3.5. Pictures can be made on Dark
Days or in Deep Shade (requiring j.2.8 in the exposure table on page
76)
by setting the diaphragm at j.4.5 or j.3.5 and using a camera
speed
of 8. The largest diaphragm on the 272- and 4-inch lenses is j.2 .7
which makes it possible to use the normal speed (16) under poor
light conditions.
