The factory supplies blank cams for the focal lengths that can be coupled and then that cam has to be ground to match the specific lens by serial number.Ĭams for the Master and the V have the lens serial number stamped on the bottom of the cam.įor the IV both the camera and the lens serial number are stamped on the cam. You can frequently see these dimples on cameras that used unmatched cams and then the owner kept resetting the stops.Ĭams are service items, not accessories so that is why they are not in the price list. If you install them incorrectly the screws will leave dimples on the chrome rails that can not be removed. Infinity stops can be a bit more difficult as their mounting screws have sharpened points that dig into the bed rails. The focusing scale is easy you just slide the scale stage off, place the scale in the proper position, there are 3 positions on each scale stage, and carefully screw in the 2 screws from the bottom of the stage. If you don’t send the camera in then you have to install them. When you send the camera in with the lens then the service center installs those for you as well as cutting the cam. If you have a lever for M or X, select X for strobes, and it should work, as long as the contacts are clean.If you have a Super Technika V or the Master you can just send the lens in for camming.Ĭamming packages include a pair of infinity stops and the focusing scale.

You should have a groundglass with the matte side facing the lens, and if you have a fresnel, then the groundglass should be between the fresnel and the lens, and the ridged side of the fresnel should face the glass. If the matte side is facing the wrong way, then that's your problem. What do you mean by a "clear cheap GG"? The original groundglass should be matte on the side facing the lens, not clear.
Is the Beattie a combination groundglass and fresnel, or just a fresnel? If it is a combination, and you are using it together with the original GG, then you are using two groundglasses, and this is bound to cause problems. If you focus with the rangefinder, the cam on a Tech IV should match both the lens (serial number on top of the cam) and the body (serial number on the bottom of the cam), and the infinity stops need to be set accurately. If you focus with the groundglass, then the cam doesn't matter. The cam is only relevant, if you focus with the rangefinder.
