VIEWFINDER
ViewfinderViewfinder
Large, bright-line rangefinder with automatic parallax compensation
Suitable for -0.5 dpt; optional corrective lenses available: -3 to +3 dpt
Image field limiterImage field limiter
Image field limiter: two lit frames: 35 mm + 135 mm, 28 mm + 90 mm,
50 mm + 75 mm (automatic switchover when lens is attached)
Optional display of image field frame/bright-line frame
Parallax compensationParallax compensation
The horizontal and vertical difference between viewfinder and lens
is compensated automatically in line with the relevant focus setting,
meaning the bright-line frame of the viewfinder will be automatically con-
gruent with the subject section captured by the lens.
Viewfinder magnificationViewfinder magnification
0.72x (all lenses)
Actual metering basisActual metering basis
49.9 mm: 69.25 mm (mechanical metering basis) x0.72 (viewfinder mag-
nification)
Congruence of viewfinder and film imageCongruence of viewfinder and film image
The bright-line frame size is identical to the shortest focus setting for
each focal length of an image size of approx. 23 x35 mm. With a setting
to infinity (depending on focal length) approx. 9% (28 mm) to 23% (135 mm)
more of the film will be captured than shown by the respective bright-line
frame.
