Light-weight Support LWS-2
The light-weight support is necessary if using the lightweight follow-focus device and for the 4"x4" matte box MB-17. The light-weight follow focus device and the 4"x4" matte box MB-17 are pushed onto the rods on the light-weight support and then clamped.
The light-weight support can also be used as a support for VARIO-SONNAR lenses - particularly when using the Zeiss Mutar tele-converter, the light-weight follow focus device or the LCS.
If using the 8mm Distagon, the extensions on the light-weight support should be removed. These would otherwise be visible in the frame.
For format change from Normal 16 to Super 16 the flange on the light-weight support should be turned 180° . See chapter 8.
