FINDER GROUP UNITS

Varimagni Finder

This unique and exclusive unit for the OM System combines the two functions of angle finder and magnifier, incorporating 9 lens elements and a reflector. It fits over the camera's eyepiece,

and can be adjusted for indi-

vidual eyesight. Its eyepiece tube

is rotatable through 360°, for

use in low level and 90° angled shots. The two-stage, one-touch switching system offers both a 1.2x magnification image cover- ing the whole screen, and a 2.5x enlargement of the central por- tion for critical focusing. For photomicrographic use, insert the Eyecoupler between the carp- era and Varimagni Finder.

Eyecup 1

Attached by sliding over the OM Body eyepiece. Its rubber hood prevents stray light from entering through the eyepiece, an essen- tial requirement in light measur- ing. The Eyecup 1 is provided with a slot for Dioptric Correc- tion Lenses.

Eyecoupler

Connects the Varimagni Finder to the OM Body for photomicro- micrography. It also ensures full

coverage of the bright viewfinder

field for use of the Eyecup 1 in conjunction with the Motor Drive 250 Film Back.

Focusing Screen 1

Interchangeable Focusing Screens are often thought of as a luxury feature in 35mm photography. Yet the Standard Focusing

Screen 1-13 is often inconvenient

or difficult to use, and, in some circumstances it is quite unsatis- factory. With super-telephoto lenses for instance, the micro-

prism becomes excessively dark.

With the high magnifications of macrophotography and photo- micrography, it is impossible to focus.

The feature of each Focusing Screen is listed on pp. 59—60.

Dioptric Correction Lens 1

Available in 8 diopter correc- tions: + 2, +1,0 (for hypermetro- pia); -1, -2, -3, -4, -5 (for myopia). Used to match the photographer's vision, and espe- cially necessary in fine focusing for high magnification. Fits into the Eyecup 1.
