Film Plane MarkThe lens distance index is scaled by measuring the distance from the film position. Thus, in case the focusing is done by actual measurement, measure from the film plane mark and transfer this distance to the lens distance index.
èTraces of water bubbles cannot be entirely removed from glass used for high quality lenses because of the manufacturing process. Lens bubbles will not at all affect the sharpness of the picture.
Depth of field ScaleThe
For example, if the lens is 50mm and the subject has been focused at a distance of 3m, with an F8 aperture, the
Similarly, if the aperture is F16, the picture will be sharp from about l.9m to 7.6m. This range will vary with the F stop selected.
èFL series of the Canon lenses have a feature which lets you see the actual sharpness through the viewfinder by turning the manual aperture ring.
Lens Mount (FL and R Series Lenses)As the lens mount for the Canon PELLIX QL is the same as for Canon PELLiX, FT QL, FX, and FP, it is possible to use all FL series lenses except the l9mm F3.5 lens. The l9mm F3.5 lens cannot be attached because the PELLIX QL uses stationary type panicle mirror. Use FL l9mm F3.5R for exclusive use with the Canon PELLIX QL instead.
èIt is possible to attach and use all the R series lenses for CANONFLEX use. However, as the automatic aperture mechanism differs,
