(1) CdS Magnifying Hood

This is a spot metering finder with a CdS exposure meter incorporated in the magnifying hood. Since the meter measures light which passes through the lens, the correct exposure setting is easily obtained. A compensating exposure factor need not be considered even if the bellows is extended. When employing a color filter, however, compensating exposure must be made by considering the filter exposure factor. (By attaching the same color filter to the viewing lens, such compensation is unnecessary.)

(2) Prism Finder

As with the magnifying hood, this prism finder may be used instead of the focusing hood.

Through this prism finder, the image on the ground glass focusing screen appears exactly as the subject is seen. Really an indispensable accessory for eye-level photo- journal photos or candid shots.

Magnification of this finder is approximately 2.5 times the image on the ground glass focusing screen, particularly bright and clear.

(3) CdS Porrofinder

This is a Porrofinder with built- in CdS exposure meter. Match the index needles within the finder by turning the dial on the back of the finder, and read the dial scale. This device measures the amount of light traveling through the viewing lens, offering correct exposure setting even for amateurs.

Eye Correction Lens

This lens, designed to correct visibility, is installed inside the eyepiece ring of the CdS Porrofinder, or Prism Finder.

Nine types of lenses are provided from +2.5 to -2 diopter (each diopter is +2.5, +2.0, +1.5,

+1.0, +0.5, -0.5, -1.0, -1.5, and - 2.0).

When installing the lens on the finder, hold the milled portion of the eyepiece ring with the thumb and finger, and turn it counterclockwise to remove the ring. When the lens is a plus (convex) lens, position it with the flat surface outside, and when it is a minus (concave) lens, place the concave surface on the exterior, then screw the ring into its original position.
