This is especially useful when mixing electronic flash with ambient exposure (synchro-flash photography). The leaf shutter function of these lenses may also be disengaged, making it possible to utilize the focal plane shutter in the Mamiya M645 camera body at all shutter speeds. Fiash sync of the focai piane shutter is 1/60 sec. With leaf shutter operation, automatic shutter cocking is performed by the optional Mamiya Power Drive WG401. The Power Drive WG401 also automatically advances the film. When using these leaf shutter lenses without the Power Drive WG401 manual shutter cocking is required. ® Aspecial power cord is supplied with each lens to connect the lens to the Power Drive WG401 for motorized leaf shutter cocking. © The lens can be attached or removed in the usual manner. ® The shutter speed diai on the iens has a green “F” setting and a green lock button. The “F” setting disengages the leaf shutter and is set when using only the focal plane shutter in the camera body. © Once the dial is set to “F”, it automatically iocks. To unlock the ring from the “F” setting, the green lock button is depressed, and the ring is turned to the desired shutter speed. e@ The Mamiya N/L lenses may be operated with either focal plane shutter or Leaf shutter. © The leaf shutter in the Mamiya N/L lenses can be automatically cocked when using the Mamiya Power Drive WG401 on Mamiya M645 Super cameras. ® The leaf shutter can also be manually cocked when used on ail Mamiya 645 cameras. ® Mamiya N/L lenses have a built-in depth of field preview sliding switch located on the front lens barrel to the left of the center. To preview depth of field, set the switch to “M”. | | | | oOo @® @ Name of Parts @ Speed ring lock button @ Depth-of-field scale @ [MAA] lock seiector (® Exposure meter coupler @ Mirror lock-up release socket —_{]) Automatic diaphragm pin @ index dot (® Power socket © Aperture ring Shutter cocking ring © Shutter speed ring (@ X-syne terminal @ AM lever (Depth of Field) ® Special power cord Focusing ring (for connection with the Power Drive GW401) A 55mm F2.8 N/L A 80mm F2.8 N/L A 150mm F3.8 N/L Interchangeable Leaf Shutter Lens for the M645 Type Standard Wide-angle Telephoto A2.8/80 N/L A2.8/55 N/L A3.8/150 N/L Leaf shutter Selko #0 Angle of views 47 65° 26° Optical 6 elements, 8 elements, 5 elements, construction 5 groups 6 groups 5 groups Seana cus 80cm 45cm 4800m Magnification _ 012% 0.18 x 0.12 x Areacovered __| 345 452mm 231x312mm 344x 465mm Aperture scale 12.8~22 13.8~32 Aperture speed 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500 Shutter cocking | Automatic | Sync terminal X-syne Roe ET Screw-in (with selector) 67mm Screw-in | 67mm Screw-in Filter size (2 filters cannot (2 filters can be used) be used) Hood Screw-in Dimensions : Total length x 61.5x79.6mm 82.0x78.9mm Max. diameter Weight 460g 520g 620g Close-up Table + 80mm F2.8 Tube Magniioa- ouee Area Covered 5 poe No. 1 0.15~0.27 | 70.0~46.4on | 27.7X87.3~15.2x20.50m | 1 .3~1.6 No. 2 0.c9~0.42 | 44.2~37.d0n 14.0X18.8~ 9.9x13.3em | 1.7~2.0 No.3 0.44~0.56 | 96.5~33.5em 9.8Xx12.6~ 7.3x 9.9m | 2.1--2.5 No.1+No.3-S | 0.69~0.71 | 33.2~31 8m 7.0% 9.6~ 5.8% 7.Ben | 2.5~2.9 No2+No3—S | 0.74~0.86 | 3i.6~3).
