To

separate the

screen frame from the film holder

frame use

both

thumbs

to

depress the

serrated coupling levers

at the left

and

right

while

pushing

the

screen frame

upwards

(see

Fig. 15). The

"Graflock"

type latches at the

sides

of the film holder

frame

permit

direct attachment

of bulky rollfilm holders.

To reassemble,

fit

the screen frame

shifted upwards through

about 1 cm

(so

that the holes

at

the

sides are level)

and

push

down till it

engages.

lnserting

film holders

The metering

back

has

lifting levers

at the bottom left

and right to lift the

screen frame

off the film holder frame.

This lifting

system facilitates

smooth

insertion

of film holders.

slightly

depress

one

lever,

push

in

the holder

and

let

go.

For thicker holders

fully

open both levers,

push

in

the

film holder

and

close

the levers.

The

SINAR

p2

und

c2 special rear

standard bearer

This

heavy-duty

standard bearer, specifically

designed for

the 8x1O"/

18x24

cm format , forms

the bottom

section of the SINAR

p2

and c2 rear

standard. lt makes

best use of all

shift,

The multipurpose

standard

This serves

as

the

lens

standard

on the

SINAR f1

. lt

can also

be used

as an

object

stage

for

close-ups

and macro

shots

and as

an

intermediate

standard

for long

camera extensions.

Set the vertical

and lateral

shifts

to the

appropriate

engagement

oured

mark

(see

table

on

Switching formats on the SINAR

f2

and

fl

Release

the bellows at the lens end and remove together with the whole

rear

standard

(the

coupling

frame is here fixed to

its

standard bearer). Now

fit

the

required

alternative rear standard

(5x7'713x18

cm or 8x10'7'18x24 cm)

with
its matching tapered bellows in the usual way. Format changing is thus sim­ple

and rapid. The

basic design of the

rear

standard

is the

same

for

all

three
formats but the two larger sizes are reinforced and the optical axis is recen­tered.

Operation

is

the same as

with

the

4x5"/9x12

cm rear standard.

The

rear

standard left over after switching formats remains

part

of the SINAR

system

to

serve as an auxiliary or intermediate standard.

The

SINAR f2

special front

standard

For

the 5x7"

/13x1 8 cm

and the 8x1 0'7'l 8x24 cm versions

of the camera we

recommend

the 431 .62

SINAR f2 special front

standard. lt

provides

a

larger

shift range

as its zero

positions

are specially

aligned forthese largerformats.

The heavy-duty

construction

is also more rigid.

This special lens

standard is

part

of the 5x7"

/1 3x1 8 cm and the

8x1 0,71 8

x24

cm SINAR f2 outfit.

The

convertible

camera

The SINAR f2

is the

entry

point

to the versatile

SINAR system with its fully

compatible

components. As requirements

become more

ambitious, chang-

ing

the rear

standard converts the f2

to the SINAR

c2.

lf

you

then

replace the

lens

standard

by that

of

the

p2, you

have

a complete SINAR

p2.

All

elements

other than

the alternative

camera standards remain

the same.

Components

left

over have further

applications in the

SINAR system. With

just

a few addi-

tional

parts you

can even use them to

assemble a second

camera.

Before stowing the camera in the SINAR case

push

the

gether

clear of both the red dots on the

key rail

of

the 422.21

base

rail. In

this

position

the camera with

various

accessories

fits

comfortably

in the 475,26

case

(expert

or basic

4x5"/9x12 cm outfits) or in the 475.42 SINAR EXPERT

case

(expert

outfits

or

basic 5x7"/1 3x1B cm or 8x10"/1

8x24

cm outfits). To

protect

the camera against dust and damp

when

set up we

recommend

the

571.42 dust cover

(basic

outfits) or

the 571 .52

cover

(expert

method

is

preferable

as it

allows considerable incli-

reserves

the micrometer

and

makes for a more

Depth

of

field

-

with all SINAR

models

Afier

locating

and

focusing

on

the

plane

of

maximum

sharpness,

stop

down

the

lens

as

far as

necessary

to extend

sharpness

at

right angles

to

this

plane.

The simplest

and

quickest way

is with the

SINAR

depth

of

field

scale:

-

At

full aperture

focus

on

the most

distant

subject

point

required

sharp

(i.e.

focused

with the

shortest

camera

extension).

-

Without

changing

the

focus setting,

zero

the

depth

of field

scale

(arrow

against

index).

-

At

full aperture

focus

on

the nearest

subject

point

required

sharp

(i.e.

focused

with

the

longest camera

extension).

-

Read

off

the

working

aperture

now shown

on

the scale

(e.9.

here

'f/22'1

and

set

this

on

the lens.

-

Turn

the

fine

focusing

drive

2 back

through

two lens stop

intervals

on

the

depth

of

field scale

(shortening the camera

extension

-

to

f/'l 1

in this

case).

This

then

yields

optimum

focus.
