Installing the Zoom Clamp & Gear Sleeve On Type 2 Lenses

Due to the larger diameter of lens opening on Type 2 lenses, the Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve need to be installed from the rear (bayonet end) of the lens. Use the housings Lens Release Control and remove the camera lens from the camera body.

Installing the Zoom Clamp

The Zoom Clamp has springs so it can be expanded to fit over the Zoom ring of the lens as shown in (Fig. I). Install the Zoom Clamp with the extension tabs toward the rear element of the lens. After installing the Zoom Clamp, check that when rotating the Zoom Clamp it rotates the

Zoom ring on the lens. If the Zoom Clamp is not tight enough to rotate the Zoom ring on the lens, remove the Zoom Clamp and install the rubber

strips (supplied) to the inside of the Zoom Clamp as shown (Fig. H) Two thickness of rubber strips are provided. Start by installing the thinnest rubber strips, if the Zoom Clamp still is not tight enough use the thicker rubber strips. Reinstall the Zoom Clamp,
