Areas of Viewfinder Field to be Composed (cont.)
50mm Lens
Attach the optical viewfinder for 50mm
lens on the accessory shoe. To correct
parallax, turn the knob at the back of the
viewfinder and select the same distance
scale shown on the dial as the focused
distance to subject.
75mm Lens
Attach the optical viewfinder for 75mm
lens to the accessory shoe. To correct
parallax, turn the knob at the back of the
viewfinder and select the same distance
scale shown on the dial as the focused
distance to subject. (The brilliant frame of 3
¼ x 4 ¼ inch format indicates the field of view
when photographing with the Polaroid Land
pack film holder).
127mm Lens
Attach a finder mask to the viewfinder
window of the camera body. For correcting
parallax, select the brilliant frame of the view-
finder for 250mm lens, moving your eye about
until the brilliant frame is centered in the
viewfinder field.

®
Land Pack
Deciding the Field Composition
Since the Polaroid film pack photographs
a wider area than does the viewfinder field
frame of the 6 x 9 cm format, compensate the
field composition in the following manner,
depending on the focal length of the lens to
be used. For accurate field composition, use
the focusing hood model P. Also, the optical
viewfinder model P for 75mm, 100mm and
127mm lenses is available to ensure accurate
field of view.
The 75mm and 127mm focal length lenses
are designed to cover the entire picture area
of the Polaroid film pack (3¼ x 4¼ ) inch format).
However, since other ordinary Mamiya Press
lenses are designed for the 6
x
9 cm format, if
these lenses are used with the Polaroid film
pack, the four corners of the format may be
slightly darkened.
