Modification of Viewfinder Mount

The viewfinder should be shifted upwards by approx 1.1mm in order to center the Super-16 image. This doesn’t require any new parts.

One way in which to achieve this is to slightly elongate the 2 mounting holes in the finder’s mount – downwards – so that the finder will move upwards on the camera body. Then cement some small washers in the new position with black epoxy.

Depending on the manufacture of the viewfinder, it may also be necessary to slightly enlarge the opening in the ACL body to accommodate the new position of the finder. This will be required with Angenieux finders, but not with the Kinoptic.
