Viewfinder

 

Viewfinder principle

Large, bright, combined bright-line viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation.

 

 

Parallax compensation

The horizontal and vertical differences between the viewfinder and the lens are automatically compensated for in

 

accordance with the focusing distance set, i.e. the bright-line frame of the viewfinder automatically moves to match

 

the subject field covered by the respective lens.

 

 

Image field framing

By projection of two bright-line frames with each lens attached: for 35 and 135 mm, for 28 and 90 mm, or for 50 and

 

75 mm. Automatically displayed when lens bayonet locks into the lens mount. Any of the pairs of bright-line frames

 

can be displayed by moving the frame selection lever.

 

 

Eyepiece

Set to –0.5 dioptres. Correction lenses for –3 to +3 dioptres available.

 

 

Correspondence

At a focusing distance of 1 metre, the size of the bright-line frame corresponds precisely to the sensor size of approx.

­between the viewfinder

23.9 × 35.8 mm. At infinity, and depending on the focal length of the lens in use, more of the sensor is covered than the

and the actual image

bright-line frame actually shows, the opposite is the case for focusing distances of less than 1 metre, i.e. somewhat less.

 

 

Magnification

0.68 x (for all lenses).

 

 

Long base rangefinder

Bright rectangular spot (RF spot) with coincident and superimposed image rangefinder in the centre of the viewfinder.

 

 

Effective

47.1 mm (mechanical rangefinder base 69.25 mm × viewfinder magnification 0.68 x).
