Please proceed as follow; any possible combination of shims can be usedto achieve the required thickness andtherefore 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.
