Eclair ACL II Manual Do Utilizador

When you receive your equipment for

the first time we recommend you examine
every unit individually in accordance with the
information given in this brochure.

After that, you will be able to follow the

instructions for use more easily.

• Remove from the camera the protective cap
of the lens mount.
• Remove from the lens the cap protecting the
thread.
• Remove any dust from the flange with your
finger.
• Screw in the lens in 21. Fig. 0.

If the distances and stops engraved

on the lens barrel cannot be read by the
cameraman in the normal operating position :
take the lens off the camera.

The threaded ring at the bottom of the

lens is mounted in contact with a special
spring washer. Without touching the rear lens
element, press down firmly on that threaded
ring and turn it to modify the orientation of the
distances and stop marks with respect to the
thread start.

• Remove the protective cap and the guard ring.
• Remove any dust from the flange with your
finger.
• Locate the intermediate TS-CA mount (fig. P)
on the lens support plate ensuring that the
locating pin (24) enters the slot (23) of the
flange.
• Screw up the retaining ring (25).
• Position the lens so that the slot (26) in the CA
mount is vertical. 9 Push the lens into the TS
intermediate mount and lock by turning the lens
clockwise.

As you will notice the Eclair intermediate

TS mount is exceptionally robust with a large
locating diameter and thrust face. The use of
lens supports with the mount is not necessary.

It is strongly recommended that each

zoom lens is fitted with an intermediate TS
mount to prevent the deterioration of the limit
stops on the lens after repeated locking in place
on the camera.
