23. THE UNIVERSAL CAMERA BACK: THE SWING FRAME (classic and 2000)

EXTREME ADJUSTMENTS:

The combination of direct and indirect adjust-

ments will result in extreme camera displace-

ments normally associated with monorail

systems only. The swing back adjustment

(20° in all directions) together with the drop-

bed displacement and lens tilt of 30° each in

many cases exceed the covering power of the

lenses used.

SCHEIMPFLUG RULE

Swings and tilts can be used to influence per-

spective and increase depth-of-field in accor-

dance with the subject’s requirements. Picture

shows rotation of front standard and film back

around the vertical axis to gain extended

depth-of-field which even the smallest apertu-

res cannot provide.

PARALLEL SHIFTS

The generous direct lens rise can be further in-

creased using indirect camera displacements, til-

ting the camera upwards and restoring vertical

orientation of lens and film plane using swing

frame and lens tilt adjustments.

The rising front, required to eliminate converging

lines, serves as a lens drop when the camera is

turned upside down using the additional tripod

socket located on top of the camera housing.
