– 8 – 

With  the  help  of  a  special  stand  the  camera  can  be  used  for  making  copies  of  drawings, 

manuscripts, photographs. To do this use should be made of extension tubes by setting them between 
the camera body and the lens. To obtain the magnification you want either one tube or a combination 
of some tubes can be used. 

Extension tubes provided with a control pin should be used with lenses where no diaphragm manual 

mode switch is provided (“HELIOS-44M-4” for example). 

Extension  tubes  without  control  pins  should  be  used  with  the  lenses  in  which  the  aperture  is  set 

manually (the diaphragm mode selector switch should be set to “M”.
