STORAGE CONDITIONS

• Store any lens in a dry place where the temperature does not exceed –40°C and +70°C (- 40°F and + 158°F).
• Do not store the lens in places where it may be subject to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, high humidity, severe vibration, or strong magnetic fields.
• Condensation: When moving the lens from a cold to a warm location or when the lens is used in a damp environment, condensation may appear on glass surfaces and on internal or external electrical connections. Operating the lenses while condensation is present may result in damage to the equipment. Condensation on the optical components may have a visible effect on the output images. To prevent condensation, store the lens in a dry area. If the lens is in a humid area, dry it and store it a plastic bag with desiccant before using it. After moving the lens from cold to warm and humid environment, wait for some time for the lens to warm up to the ambient temperature to avoid condensation.

TEMPERATURE OF OPERATION

• Any lens is designed to be used between – 20°C and + 45°C (- 4°F and + 113°F).
• The optomechanical design is passively thermalized. It allows Optimo Ultra Compact to prevent from a back focus shift with temperature changes.

REPLACING THE MOUNT
Please refer to the next page figure for the numbers into brackets.

• Place the Optimo Ultra Compact on the front cap

• Unscrew the rear filter sub-assembly (1) anticlockwise

• Remove the two holding screws and the electronic camera interface (3)

• Untighten and remove the eight screws (2) from the PL mount and remove the PL mount (4)
  CAUTION: pull out the PL mount straightly to prevent from any damage of the electronic camera interface inner pins (3)

• Replace the defective PL mount with a new one

• Put back all elements in reverse order

• Check your back focus and change the thickness of the flange shims to adjust the back focus distance if necessary

ADJUSTING THE BACK-FOCUS
Optimo Ultra Compact is set with the 52mm industry PL flange distance and delivered with a color shim set. If you need to adjust the back focus flange to fit more accurately to the position of the sensor on the camera, you need to modify the rear color shim thickness. Please proceed as follow; any possible combination of shims can be used to achieve the required thickness and therefore the required flange focal distance. Please keep the rear filter (1) in place and be sure it is well fitted when doing the back-focus adjustment.

• Unscrew the PL retainer (5) anticlockwise
• Remove the PL sub-assembly (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)
• Unscrew the screws (6) then remove the aluminum installed shims (7) and the installed colors shimmed (8) by using a flat-bladed screw-driver or a pair of tweezers.
• Determine the total thickness of the shims already installed. Increase or decrease the total shim thickness according your needs
• Put back all elements in reverse order

CAUTION: do always put back the aluminum factory shim (7) on the color shims. Be sure the color shims and the aluminum shims are in place with the indexation pin (9)

FEET TO METER AND METER TO FEET SWAP

You have the possibility to buy another focus engraved ring in meter or in feet for your Optimo Ultra Compact . The swap of the focus scale from one system to the other must be done with cautious in a clean environment to prevent dust or particles pollution inside the lens. If your focus ring needs to be replaced please contact your local reseller or our service team at [email protected] providing the serial number of the lens.
Parts numbers into brackets are referring to the next pages:

CAUTION: After swapping the scale, please do always check the focus ring functioning. If you notice a mechanical play on the focus ring, tighten more the three screws (1) uniformly. If the focus torque is stiff or uneven, release and tighten more uniformly the three screws (1).

TIP: To help re-installing the focus scale, go to the infinity focus end- stop and put a pencil mark on the front engraved ring (5) in front of the infinity position. When installing the focus ring, align the infinity engraving with the mark made. After installing the focus ring, check if the marks are correctly aligned by using a collimator, projector or camera. Proceed to a final accurate adjustment if necessary.
