The lens is a zrrss rEssAR f : z.s/zs mm which formany years has been famous all over ,the world. Itis, of course, coated and colour corrected and yields '

black and white as well as colour pictures of unsur-passed brilliance and definition.The built-in rangefinder is coupled to the lens andensures correct focusing. It is combined with theoiewfinder, which mearis that the distance setting andthe image field can be observed simultaneously.The red dot setting increases the versatility of thecamera and makes it ready for action any time youwant to take candid shots.The built-in pboto-electric exposure meter ensuresthe correct exposure time for black and white andcolour films even in poor lighting conditions. Thi;experience gathered in 20 years of making photo-electric exposure meters has borne good fruit in theS U P E R I K O N T A .

The Syn&ro-Compur shutter with light oalues can beset to shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/roo secondand time exposures of any period. A synchro-contact'nenables coupling to all types of flashguns and there ;t

is also a delayed action rnechanism built-in. IThe interlo&.ed shutter tensioninQ and film adoance'

combined with the frame counter sirnplify the ope-ration of the camera and exclude double exposuresand blanks automaticalll'.

Opening and closing ihe clmera

Span the back of the camera with your hand, slightlytilting it forward. \7hen the opening button (a) isdepressed the camera will open and the lens snapinto the taking position (ill. 2). If the struts (6) donot snap in completely press the front edge of thebaseboard downward with your finger.

To close the camera press against the upper sectionsof botb struts (6) which makes the baseboard slideupwards. The camera can then be conveniently closeduntil the lod< catches (ill. 3).

The camera can also be opened and closed in thd'taking position. Hold the camera with both handsas shown in illustrations 13 and 14 on pages 20 and2l and press the button (4) with the index finger.The lens will then snap into the taking position ifthe camera is slightly tilted. For closing both struts(6) are pressed inwards and the baseboard closedwith the other fingers.

The supsn TKoNTA can be closed no matter whetherthe shutter is tensionedor notor whatdistancethelensis focused upon. This makes the camera always readyfor immediate use. lVhen a filter is screwed in,however, the camera can be closed only when thelens is set to oo .

Measuring the ligbt value

Prior to each exposure the light value necessary forthe exposure should be measured with the built-inphoto-electric exposure meter. (lll. 4). You can relyabsolutely on the reading even if the lighting con-ditions are poor and no matter whether the camerais loaded with bl4pk and white or colour negative orreversal film.

First thing to do is to set the exposure meter to thespeed of the film in use. The inner disc is turned bymeans of the small button (2) until the black strokemark at the right-hand window (seen in the takingdirection) coincides rvith the DlN-speed or that atthe left window with the ASA speed of the film inuse. The disc can also be set to intermediate values.If the makers of the film have used film speed ratingsother than DIN and ASA the corresponding valuescan be found in the table on page 11.

The speed of colour films cannot be determined aswith black and white films since all filrn rating systemsare based on values obtained from black and whitefilm. The film manufacturers, therefore, give thespeed of their colour films by comparison with blackand white films, recommending ,,to be exposed like . . .".In general this method has proved quite reliable,but to make quite sure, you can calibrate yourexposure meter for the colour film used by exposing

r$,i* ,ff'*.s&

+.a.,,,si .,i

*,

"ri*..is,1

*r,|*s'*


several frames of the same object with different shut-ter speeds.

To determine the light value the flap of the exposuremeter should be opened by pressing button ( 1 9)slightly to the left. The supER rKoNrA rv is thendirected to the object so as it is intended to be taken.This will carrse the white pointer (3) to deflect. Byturning the adjusting ting (1) the small white cir-cular mark is moved so that it appears symmetri-cally on top of the pointer when looked at fromabove. The light value'required (red figure) can nowbe read off from the adjusting ring and will be found

opposite the red triangle mark placed on the setting

disc for the f i lm speed.

If the exposure time is found to become longer than

1 second the shutter must be set to ,,B" (see page 12)

and the exposure times in seconds (black figures)

should be read off the adjusting ring. They are oppo-

site the various stop of the diaphragm placed on

the inner disc of $t, film speed windows. The figures

can be continued by doubling the last value. lf , for

instance, a measurement results in an exposure time

of 8 seconds at ,[ z 8, the exposure tirne should be

16 seconds a t f : l l , 32 seconds a t [ : 16 and 64 se -

conds - or 1 mif iute - at [ :22. The l ight value orstop and shutter speed measured shculd then betransferred to the shutter of the sLrpER rxoNja rv.

Since this lever has alimited travelling spaceonly 1 the light valuecan sometimes only beset by also turning the

adjustirrg ring (9) onwhich the light valuescale is placed.$7hen the correct lightvalue has been set thediaphragm and the

shutter speed are coupled. The amount of light ne-cessary for the correct exposure of a film is alwaysdetermined by the size of the lerrs aperture (dia-phragrn) and the time the light is effective (exposuretime). The figure of the light value denotes the cor-rect pairing of diaphragm and shutter speed for theprevailing lighting conditions. If the shutter speed isaltered by one or two values of the scale after thelight value has been set, the coupling will set thediaphr agnl automatically (17) to the correct ratioancl vice versa.

Settins theTurn the milled front ring (9) until its mark (black

dot) is opposite the shutter speed required. Thevarious shutter speeds are placed on scale (15). Thef igures engraved on this scale indicate fractions of

Turn the same millecl ii,',g (9) until the red mark isopposite the stop required (scale 17).

tVith one light value once determined only such,combinations of diaphragm and shutter speed which'result in a correctly exposed negative can be set. Itis recommended to place the thumb on the lightvalue lever (11) and the index f inger on the oppositeside of the adjustingring (9). (See i l lustr.6).This manipulation pre-vents an unintentionalchangirg of the iightvalue.If , after having deter-mined the .light value,the stop becomes sosmall that a time ex-posure (shutter setting

conds. If it is intended to use a snraller stop (to do

this pull out lever (11) as it is dcne for the sett ing of

the light value), the exposure time required can be

read off from the exposure meter as described on page

10. This means , of course/ that the l ight value sett ingis out of action. Vhen the shutter setting is changedfrom ,,8" to one pf the various shutter speeds, thelight value must also be re-set in the f irst place.

Melsuring the distance

The object distance is determined by means of thebuilt-in rangefinder. Looking through the eyepiece(24) of the cornbined view/rangefinder, you see theimage as it will be recorded by the camera but witha light square portion in its centre in which the

1 4


outl ines of the object wil lappear double (i l l . 7). Byturning the mi l led, r ing( 1 0) vrith the middle fin-ger of the left hand thesedouble outl ines in thecentre of the measuringfield can be broughg "to

coirrcidence. (The best ob-jects f or obtainirg anaccurate focus are vertical lirres, such as the edge ofa house, a tree, etc.) ( i l l . 8). As soon as the contourscoincide the lens is accurately focused at the correctdistance required. Moreoverf the correct distance may,be read off frorn the blacl.. distance setting mark oll'the scale (12) of the lens ring (i l l . 9).

Deptb of t'teldWhen the lens is focused on sorne definite object dis-tance it yields a sharp picture not only of the objectat this distance but also of those objects that are :nearer to the camera or further away from it. This t

zone of sharp definition is called the depth of fieldwhich, however, is rather srnall when the diaphragmis ful ly open (stop f :3.5). The depth of f ie ld increa-ses gradually the more the lens is stopped down.The depth of field for any given lens aperture anddistance can be read off from the depth-of-field ring

1 5

(13). Diaphragm f igureswill be found on the right

and left side of the distancesetting mark. The figureson the distance scale (12)

opposite these stop figuresindicate the extent of thedepth of field. The strokeswithout figures beside the

triangular nrark indicate thedepth of field at stop f z 4

and the strokes between 8 and 16 that of stop f : 1 1. .For instance : \When focused at 15 ft the stroke forf :77 on the r ight-hand side indicates 48 f t , that onthe left-hand side a l i t t le more than 9 ft. Focused on15 f t wi th s top [ :17 the lens wi l l y ie ld a sharp zonereaching from approx. 9 ft. in the foreground, to 48 ftin the background. The exact range of the depth off ield can be found in the iable on page 33.A different way of util izing the depth of field is this:the range that is required to be sharp is measuredwith the rangef inder, f irst the f oreground then thebackground. The necess ary stop to cover this p'arti-cular depth of field is then determined by the depth-of - f ie ld r ing (13) .

How to hold the camera

The supER IKoNIA tv must be held as steady as pos-

sible during exposure/ i f sharp negatives are to be

obtained. It is one of the advantages of the sqLlare

format that no weighty decisior-r is needed as to

whether to take an object with the carnera in a hori-

zontaT or vertical position.

Hold the camera r^rith both hands, the fingers span-

ning the camera body while the thumbs are on the

back. The middle f inger of the left hand operates the

mi l led r ing (10) of the rangef inder. - fhe

index f inger

of the right hand releases the shutter (21).


When looking trough the view lrungefinder with the

right eye the camera must be held as shown in

i l lustr . 13. In th is case the lef t eye should be c losed.

It is, therefore, more convenient to use the left eye;

for sighting through the eyepiece, since then the right

eye need not be closed (i l l . 14). Instantaneous expo-

sures of a longer duration than 1/s, second and t ime

exposures should always be rnade from a tripod or

some other f irm support. The srrpER TKoNTA rv has

a tr ipod bush at the base of the carnera.

Hsw to relense theThe shutter is released by completely depressing the

body shutter release knob (21). Do not press but

squeeze the button gently without a jerk, taking up

the slack in the releasing mechanism slowly. Releasing

the shutter is possible only if :

1. the film is corAectly advanced (see page 22)

2. the shutter is tensioned (see page 1 3).

FtlmAfter every exposure the film must be advanced one

frame by turning the film wind krrob (20) uritil it

stops ill. 15). The sarne movement automatically ad-

vances the frame-counter (23) by one figure. The

frame counter indicates the number of the film frame

which is ready for exposure. Since the film can be

advanced only when the shutter release has been

depressed (21), while on

the other hand releasittg the

shutter is only possible whenthe film has been advanc-ed, double exposures andblanks are excluded.

Loading the camerd

For the srrPER TKoNTA IV

standard roll fi lm No. 120is used. The camera can beloaded in daylight, but doit in the shade and never inbright sunshine, even yqdrown shadowwill do. The backof the canlera can be open-ed after the locking bar (8)has been pulled out. T'hefull fi lm spool is insertedinto the spool charnber belowthe setting knob of the expo-sure meter (1). I l l .16. Pul l outthe spring loaded prong atthe underside of the camera.The spool must be insertedso that the tapered end ofthc red backing paper pointstoward the empty (take-up)spcol. Break the gummedseal of the film and drawthe tapered end of thebacking paper across thefiLn gate until you can slipit into the longer slot in thecore of the empty take-up

spool. Pull the red backing paper taut by a few turns

of the film wind knob (20) until the two triangular

marks on the paper (or, with other makes of film,

a doubleheaded arrow) are exactly opposite the two

white marks on the film guide of the carnera (ill. 17).

The backing paper must lie flat between the flanges

of the take-up speol and must on no account chafe

them. Then clos6 the back of the camera and push

the locking bar (8) completely home. The film wind

knob (20) should now be turned several tirnes until

it locks automatically. The film counter is thus set

to " \" and when the shutter is tensioned (Z) the

supER TKoNTA tv is ready for the first shot.

i

Unloadlng tbe camera

After the 12th exposuref turn the film wind knob (20)

until it locks. The frame counter now shows a red

dot. The camera back can then be opened, ,which

makes the frame counter (23) snap back automa-

tically into its initial position (black dot). The lower

spring-loaded prong is then ptrlled out and the spool

removed cautiously (in the shade, never in bright

sunshine). Seal the exposed film imrnediately. Before

inserting a fresh film remove the empty spool and


ilffi

: ' &

insert it into the take-up spool chamber. By turningthe film wind knob (20) make sure that the take-upspool has engaged in the key of the film wind knob.

\X/hether the camera is loaded or not can be establish-ed easily by pushing the slide of the film windowsideways (25). \X/hen the camera is loaded the colour-ed backing paper of ttt"'film will be visible throughthis window.
