To take off the Lensplate, be sure to hold it with one hand. Then push the safety knob (23) and push the
Lever at the indicated Lens “button” (5b).
3F. Mounting DSLR Camera
Take the dedicated Mountblock and mount it under the DSLR
camera using the ¼” Thumbscrew (29). Before tightening it
check if the camera is well aligned with the Mountblock.
Be sure that the X2-Pro camera is mounted correctly and stable
to avoid damaging your equipment.
Take the DSLR camera with Mountblock and place it on the
Pegs (19) of the Rear Standard (20) of the X2-Pro, depending
on what orientation is needed for your image set-up. Note that the
locking lever (22) should be in the open position (picture shows locked
position).
Hold the camera with Mountblock on the Pegs against the Rear
Standard and lock the lever. Be sure that the camera is mounted
correctly before letting loose.
The camera is demounted again using the reverse order of
instructions. Be sure to hold the camera while unlocking the
Mountblock lever (22).
For the use of macro photography or in combination with the 120
and 150mm lenses a macro converter is available (see picture).
In case of using the converter it is
recommended to mount the
converter to the X2-Pro before
fixing the DSLR camera with
Mountblock to the converter
again.
Note that the locking lever of the
macro converter is situated at the
front side of the Rear standard.
4 Camera Functions
After assembling the camera parts, Lensplate and DSLR camera your X2-Pro camera system is ready to
be used. In the following instructions the main camera movements and features are described.
4A. Focusing
The Shift Profile makes a linear movement perpendicular to the chip surface. It is manually driven by the
Focus Knob (14) and locked if necessary by the locking knob behind (13).
The Profile contains a rough focussing scale that gives an indication of the ‘infinity’-position of the lens
that is used. The special marks for use of the Hasselblad and Mamiya lenses help you to quickly find the
right focusing position for the lens itself.
The right scale with the ballooned 70, 80 and 90 mm indications is based on the use of the recessed
Lensplate.
Using the macro converter accessory makes the scale go 70 further than indicated.
4B. Front Standard Movements
The front standard contains horizontal and vertical shift and the tilt and swing movements for the Lens
Panel. In the vertical Column (10) the Knob for the Rise & Fall is situated at the bottom (12) with a stroke
of 18mm up and down. Every 5mm you can feel an indent. The scale for the Rise & Fall (26) also
contains the zero-indication for the Swing scale (25). The Swing Knob (11) gives you a rotation of 20
degrees both ways with an indent for every 5 degrees.
