In
adclition, compensation
must be
made for
parallax,
particularly
with
such wide angle
lens
as the
65-millimeter
assembly.
With
the
8O-millimeter
lens in use, when the distance
to
the
subject
is
down
to the
range calling for
X
1.5
exposure,
the
parallax can be corrected
by using the upper correction
line across
the
ground glass.
Compose
your
picture
so that
all
essentials
come
below this
line.
When
the subject is
even
closer, and
x2
exposure
is
needed, use the lower
correction
line
as
guide.
When
X3
exposure
is needed,
an
imaginary
line across
the
middle
of
the
ground
glass
screen
should be used as
the upper
limit.
This
principle
applies
to
lenses
of other
focal lengths,
but with the
1O5-millimeter
and
longer
focal length
lenses, the
cut-off
line
will
be
at
about
the second
correction
line
when
the
bellows
is fully
extended.
When
a tripod
or stand
is used, the
interpositioning of the
parallax compensation
mount
(PARAMENDER)
will
permit
you to
sight
and
focus without
any
parallax
whatsoever.
