R. Accessories

The various accessories make the single-lens reflex camera universally applicable and help to open up many New fields of activity.

Ever ready Case

It protects the camera against shock and dirt.

Cable Release

For longer exposure periods involving the use of a tripod, and also in photomicrogrophy and for reproductions, it is indispensable. For long time exposures a cable release with locking device should be used.4www.butkus.org

Lens Hood
Eliminates disturbing flares in counterlight photography and protects the lens surface in rainy weather from getting wet. The lens hood must fit the image angle of the lens.

Filters
These are screwed into the filter thread of the lens mount. The filters for black-and-white ~ photography -- except n w filters and polarizing filters -- are not suitable for colour work, for which special types of filter are available.

Angle Finder
This finder is also attached to the ocular mount of the camera. It is rotatable and thus permits a convenient choice of any viewing direction. The angle finder reveals the complete finder image and is equipped with a dioptre scale.

Rubber Eye Cup and Mount for Correcting Lenses

The eye cup keeps out extraneous light during focusing. Persons with defective eyesight may have a correcting lens corresponding to their long-distance glasses fitted into the mount designed for this purpose and are thus able to work without their spectacles on.

Focusing Telescope

The focusing telescope yields an additional 2.7fold magnification of a section of the finder image. It is adjustable to faulty eyesight by means of a dioptre focusing mount.4www.butkus.org

Intermediate Plunges Rings for Electric Transmission of Diaphragm Values

These rings are screwed in between camera and lens as a means of increasing the picture ratio in close-up work. The Intermediate Rings for the PRAKTICA LLC are provided with plunger pins to keep the automatic diaphragm mechanism operative and with contacts for the electric transmission of the diaphragm values. This makes it possible. also in the specialized field of close-up photography and even at a 1 :1x picture ratio, to employ the automatic exposure system and to take exposure meter readings with the lens at full aperture.

Reversing Ring

To screw the lens into the camera by its filter thread for extreme close-ups with an image ratio exceeding 1.5x.

Miniature Close-up Bellows Attachment
This equipment permits an infinite variation of the image ratio in close-up work within a range of 0.7x to 2.5x in combination with the standard lens.4www.butkus.org

Close-up Bellows Attachment

Infinite variation of the image ratio with the 50 mm lens from 0.7x to 4.4x.

Connection of a slide copying attachment is possible.

Special Intermediate Rings with Cable and Cable Release Socket

These special intermediate rings allow the electronic transmission of the diaphragm values at infinite extension of the bellows attachment and thus, for the first time, the exposure metering at full aperture with the use of bellows attachments (even with the reversed lens).

Universal Tripod

Highly rigid, permits varying the position of the camera from close to ground up to approximately eye level. All-direction pan and tilt movement of camera.

Focusing Slide

Of great advantage in close-up work with a tripod (e.g. the Universal Tripod). Makes it possible to adjust the camera-tosubject distance whithout having to change the position of the tripod.

Microscope Attachment Piece

For the firm connection of camera and microscope (diam. of eye piece connection 25 mm).4www.butkus.org

Reproduction Stand with Lighting Equipment and Repro Piece

For all kinds of reproduction work. The camera is connected by the repro piece with the filter thread of the lens.

Please follow these Instructions for Use carefully. Improper handling of the camera may cause damage for which we can accept no liability.
