User manual

To use a Portra Lens unscrew the Insert on the
front of the camera's lens mount, place the Portra
Lens convex side forward, in front of the lens, and
hold it in place by screwing in the Insert.
Compose the picture in the finder. When you are
holding your camera for vertical pictures with the
finder to the right, turn the Kodakjust a little to the
right, and for horizontal pictures tilt the camera up
a tr ifle, because the short distances at which the
subject must be from the lens make it necessary to
center the subject by eye.
When you are using roll film in your camera,
the subject must be at one of the distances from
the lens given
in the tables on pages 36 and 37.
Revolve
the focusing knob until the correct figure
is at the focusing index on the FOCUSING SCALE and
then measure the distance carefully from the lens
to
the subject.
The same exposure is required as without the
Kodak Portra Lens.
The Accessory Back for Sheet Film , Film Packs , and
Plates , an accessory, will be very useful for ob-
taining the best results with the Kodak Portra
Lenses.
When the Kodak Medalist is fitted with the
Accessory Back and the Kodak Portra Lenses for
close-
up photography, focusing is done on the
ground glass. This makes it unnecessary to measure
the distance from the camera to the subject.
