Eyepiece

Penelope viewfinder is designed to be fully orientable, providing left or right

side viewing and upright image in any position. The viewfinder arm is

equipped with an eyepiece that can be used for handheld and tripod opera-

tion.

The eyepiece can be equipped with a heating system which receives its

power from a cable connected to the Fisher-2 socket, located on the camera

front body, above the lens mount.

Attaching the finder extension

For dolly work, an optical extension (280 mm) can be inserted between the

viewfinder arm and the eyepiece.

First remove the eyepiece by rotating the locking ring (A) clockwise until it

reaches its stop and gently pull the eyepiece. To install the finder extension,

align its four protruding flanges with the four corresponding cutaways in the

viewfinder locking ring and insert it into the viewfinder port so that its flanges

rest evenly against the lens seat. Tighten the locking ring by turning it coun-

terclockwise until the extension finder is secured in place and the locking ring

is firmly set. Install the eyepiece on the finder extension.
