Close-ups with the measuring chain
At
close range between 8 inches and 2 feet (20
to
60
cm) you have very I ittle depth
of
field. So
use
the
measuring chain on the ever-ready case to
estab-
lish
the exact distance. With the chain held taut,
each bead matches an engraved distance setting
on the scale:
first
bead for 8 inches, second bead 10
inches, third bead 1 foot, fourth bead 1'/2 feet, full
chain length 2 feet (on metrically scaled cameras
20
,
24
,
30
,
40
and
60
cm respectively).
Measure the distance with the cha
in
and
set the di-
stance scale,
then
hold the appropriate chain bead
once more against
the
subject
to
be
sure of the correct
distance.
As
yo
u then remove your
hand
with the
chain,
shoot without changing the distance.
If
you
use a
ru
ler
or
tape measure instead of the chain,
measure the distance from the front of the camera.
To mount the measuring chain
directly
on
the Minox
LX
without
the
camera case you need the tripod bush
adapter for the LX measuring chain
