4.5 Lens Support
Heavy or long lenses require support to avoid overstressing
the camera‘s lens mount. Supporting a lens is achieved
by using either the Lens Support LS-9 (snapped onto 19
mm support rods) a photo or the Lens Support LS-10
(pushed onto 15 mm support rods) in conjunction with a
lens support ring a photo attached to the lens in use.
They meet and screw together at a standard height.
• Mount the LS-9 lens support onto the support rods from
above and let it click into place by applying slight pressure
or push the LS-10 onto the support rods from the front.
• Fit the appropriate support ring a photo loosely onto
the lens. Do not tighten.
• Then slide the lens into the lens mount receptacle and
lock. It is essential that you take the weight of the lens
until the Lens Support is under the support column of
the lens support ring.
• Connect the support ring to the lens support and
tighten the knurled screw a photo as well as the
clamping lever a photo .
• Complete the process by tightening the clamp screw
a photo on the support ring.
Note: Mounting the support ring on the relevant lens
is usually carried out only once. The support
ring can then remain in position on the lens.
