2)
Attach the checking lens to the lens test projector, and set the equipments as shown in Fig.4-3-2.
3)
Turn the fan switch of the lens test projector to ON, then turn the lamp switch to ON.

4)
Turn the focus ring of the checking lens until the chart image projected on the screen is the sharpest at the center (y’=0).
5)
Set the plane mirror to the center of the projected image (y’= 0), and adjust the projector position so that the mirror reflects the light
to the center of the lens.

2. Checking Method
1)
Turn the focus ring of the checking lens until the chart image projected on the screen is the sharpest at the center (y’=0).
2)
Read the number of the smallest pitched lines at the center (y’= 0).
Fig.4-3-3
3)
Turn the mount rotation ring of lens test projector until the projected image at a certain peripheral point (y’= 9 or 12) on the screen
appears the most unsharp.
Read the number of the smallest pitched lines (both saggital and meridional: 3 lines) at the peripheral point.
Note:
When reading the number of the smallest pitched lines, be careful of the spurious resolution.
Spurious resolution is the reversed image of 2 or 4 lines which appears on screen when focus is beyond maximum revolving
power.
Do not confuse spurious resolution for the smallest pitched lines.
Fig.4-3-4
4)
Change the focal-length (zoom) and distance of the checking lens, and check that the all readings (y’= 0, saggital (S) and meridional
(M) at y’= 9 or 12) at each focal-length (zoom) and distance is within the specification of the Table 4-3-2.

4-3-2. Projective Resolving Power Check
Note:
• Check the projective resolving power. If it does not meet the specification, adjust the projective resolving power, projective
resolving power (partial blur) adjustment meet the specifications respectively.
Projective Resolving Power (Partial Blur) Adjustment
Check the projective resolving power. Conform the following adjustment if necessary.
1)
Set the focal length of lens to 80 mm and adjust the focus so that the center “y’= 0” reaches the maximum resolution.
2)
Check projective resolving power at reach peripheral point of “y’= 12”.
If the projective resolving power does not meet the specification, perform the following.
(1) Rotate the 4th lens block, adjust the defective parts to out of picture frame.
(2) If the adjustment is impossible according to the procedure (1), replace the 4th lens block.
(3) If the specification is not improved according to procedure (2), replace the 2nd lens block.

FLANGE BACK (f’F) CHECK/ADJUSTMENT
4-4-1. Flange Back (f’F) Check
Equipment
• 1000 mm Collimator
• Flange Back Tester
• A-mount Attachment
• Flange Back Gauge (43.50mm)
1. Preparations
1)
Set the equipments as shown in the Fig.4-4-1.
Fig.4-4-1
2)
Looking through the eyepiece lens, turn the eyepiece ring of the flange back tester so that cross line or scale in the view is the sharpest.
3)
Attach the flange back gauge (43.50mm) securely to the A-mount attachment and hold them together.
4)
Turn the focusing knob of the flange back tester so that fine scratches on the flange back gauge (43.50mm) is the sharpest.
Note:
Turn the knob in the direction of the arrow of Fig.4-4-2 for correct reading.
Fig.4-4-2
5)
Turn the scale ring of the dial gauge until the long pointer indicates “0”.
Note:
This position is the flange back (f’F) = 43.50 mm.
Memorize the position of short-pointer.
