anabasis Posted October 18, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All, I am soon set to receive a Modular Telyt-R but it comes without a manual. I would love to get an electronic one, or buy a paper manual; but am really interested on the instructions on how to join the head to the focusing module. I believe it should be easy, but don't want to mess it up when I get it. A second topic is a Series 6 filter. I am wondering what people think about the polarizer and if it is worth trying to buy one. Thanks, Jeremy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsh Posted October 18, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2009 A polarizer is always good to have. There is a series 6 for sale on the auction site of Quality Camera. If you really want one, get it soon as Leica no longer supplies one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautier Posted October 18, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 18, 2009 Th user manual is available here : http://www.summilux.net/documents/NoticeApoTelytRModulSystem-2004.pdf It's very easy to join a focus modul and a head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabasis Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted October 18, 2009 I downloaded the manual. Thanks for the link! I have found a used Series 6 polarizer, but now I am wondering if it is just the filter, or if it will come with the holder that includes the wheel to rotate it internally. I will have to look into it. Thanks again, Jeremy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_dykstra Posted October 18, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 18, 2009 A couple of tricks: - before attempting the mating, make sure the head's rotating bayonet thing is 'armed' by turning it counter-clockwise. - reference your fingers between the two halves when docking, to avoid bumps. - once docked (with the auto bayonet spinning) give the spinny thing an extra gentle turn by hand to ensure the halves don't separate unexpectadly. This happened to a number of new users, hence the red warning stickers on later large heads. - consider using the uniform ground glass screen (with or without grids) with the f5.6 module. The microprisms of other screens don't work well at f5.6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
