Image field lenses
6 different image field lenses are available for the Pentagon Six (see also the instructions for using "close-up
equipment for Pentagon 6"). The field lenses are exchanged as follows: remove the finder element from the camera
and then loosen the screws on the three remaining springs with a screwdriver. Swinging the springs aside take out the
spring ring, and tip the image lens out of the camera. Fixing any one of the other field lenses is performed in reverse
order. It is important to note that the thinner part of the lens must lie towards the back of the camera.
