Light-weight Support LWS-2
The light-weight support is necessary if using the light-
weight follow-focus device and for the 4"x4" matte box
MB-17. The light-weight follow focus device and the
4"x4" matte box MB-17 are pushed onto the rods on
the light-weight support and then clamped.
The light-weight support can also be used as a support
for VARIO-SONNAR lenses - particularly when using the
Zeiss Mutar tele-converter, the light-weight follow focus
device or the LCS.
If using the 8mm Distagon, the extensions on
the light-weight support should be removed.
These would otherwise be visible in the frame.
For format change from Normal 16 to Super 16 the
flange on the light-weight support should be turned
180°. See chapter 8.
Mounting

that the guide pins connect with the appropriate holes
in the light-weight support.

Dismounting

guide pins on the camera pull out of the holes on the
light-weight support.
