Eclair Cameras: Kinetal 12.5

[Steven Gladstone <veenotph@earthlink.net>]

Excuse this is really a simple question with an easy answer.


MAke sure there is no power connected to the camera.

Clear the mirror out of the way. Then seat the lens in the mount with 
focus set to closest distance.


Then slowly pull focus to infinity, this will cause the rear element to 
extend out towards the film plane. At infinity the rear element will be 
as close to the film plane as it will get.

SLOWLY manually inch the camera, if you feel the mirror touching 
something you have your answer.

This is standard procedure for testing lens clearance with any lens you 
have not used on a camera before.
