Welcome to the exciting and rewarding world of
KOWA-SIX 2-1/4-square single-lens reflex photo-
graphy. |
Although you are probably anxious to start shoot-
ing with your new KOWA-SIX we suggest that you
take the time to carefully study this instruction manu-
al. As you go through the pages, try to understand—
not just memorize — the operations of the camera. In
this way, you will quickly realize the full potential
of this superb instrument and its accompanying lens
and accessory system. If you have any questions, your
Kowa dealer will be glad to answer them.
Note:
These instructions apply to the two models,
KOWA-SIX MM(version II) and KOWA-SIX(ver-
sion II), but the instructions printed in this color
are applicable only to the MM model.

to fit the spool. Other than the number of exposures
however, a given film type will be identical in all ways,
be it 120 or 220.
3. Position the pressure plate for

it is advisable to lock the shutter-release but-
ton according to the directions on Page 12. This will prevent you from wasting a
trame due to accidental exposure.
4. Set the frame counter for 120

Pull out the 12/24 trame counter selection button. align
the dot with the “12” or the 24” depending on the type
of film in the camera. push the button back into position.
With the 12/24 trame counter properly set. the winding
knob will be automatically released when you have
made the last exposure (the 12th for 120 film: the

4. Focusing
Turn the focusing ring until the image on the viewing
screen appears sharp. With all viewing screens {unless
instructions for a specific screen state otherwise), critical
tocusing should be done with the center spot.
For less critical tocusing. the distance may be estimated
and set on the distance scale. To measure film to sub-
ject distance (applicable is some close-up applications)
measure from the mark on the camera. This mark in-
dicates the film plane.
XIt is advisable to use small apertures in infra-red photography. In most
circumstances, the added depth-of-field will compensate for possible
focusing error. Depth-of-fied increases as the lens is stopped down

5. Focusing for infra-red photo-

It is always necessary to compensate for the different
wavelength sensitivity of intra-red film. To do this. focus

6. Depth of Field Scale
As this is a single-lens reflex camera, the range of
sharp focus may be ascertainted on the viewing
screen with the help of the depth-of-field preview
lever. For an approximate check, use the depth-of
rield scale on the lens barrel. The picture shows

MICROSCOPE ADAPTER
Yeu can take sharp photomicrographs with
the help of KOWA-SIX Microscope Adapter
MC-1.
The extremely clear view-linder of KOWA.
УХО facilitates focusing and adjustment of the
light source, which used to create problems
in photomicrography. You simply replace the
lens unit of your camera with MC-1 fix the
camera body on the copy stand and attach
MC-1 to the eye-piece of your microscope.
Use of the Exposure Finder, an accessory
will greatly facilitate the precise determination
of correct exposure.
*Detailed instructions are found in the
Microscope Adapter Instructions”.

TELEPHOTOGRAPHY WITH 2X TELE-CONVERTER
2X tele-converter is a rear conversion lens which effectively doubles the focal length
of the master lens.
It was originally designed for the 500mm super telephoto lens. but can be ‘used with
150mm, 200mm and 250mm telephoto lenses as well, doubling their effective focal
length to 300mm, 400mm and 500mm respectively.
Diaphragm and shutter coupling of the master lens remains when using with the conver -
sion lens. Exposure factor is 4.
* Detailed description and instructions are provided in manual
INSTRUCTIONS" supplied with the converter.
CLOSE-UPS WITH KOW A-UP LENSES
KOW A-UPs are auxiliary lenses for close-up photography. They are very convenient
tor field work. They allow focusing at closer distance. than the minimum distance of
master lens. No.l (its focal length is 0.5m) is the most powerful No.2 (Im) comes next
and No.3 (2m) is the weakest of the three. No modification of exposure is necessary
(exposure factor is 1.)
* Detailed description and instructions are provided in manual “KOWA-UP INSTRUC.

FILTERS
When you wish to contrast your B & W pictures
or to use your daylight films under artifical
lights, filters will offer effective results.
Filter sizes are given in the following lens
descriptions.
19mm, 35mm and 40mm lenses are supplied
with filter holder for gelatine filter. Spare
filter holder is available.
Exposures must be modified by exposure factor
which is given in the table on this page. (But
if you use EXPOSURE FINDER or PRISM EXPO-
SURE FINDER,you will be free from troublesome
exposure factor modifications.)
UV and JA need no exposure increase(exposure
factor 1).
Keep always clean the surface of filter.
Note: PL filter comes only in 67mm.

adjusted to the camera body. Some slight shadow will appear
on your film corners.
Bellows extension is 14.5 cm.
Following table gives the subject-to-film distance and magnification.
The front mounting ring can be shifted, raised and lowered, by 15mm each,
| and swung forward and backward by 20° each at center click point.
t is provided with magnification scales on guide rails tor 55mm, 85mm,
110mm and 150mm lenses.

CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHY
WITH EXTENSION TUBES
Kowa extension tubes Tl, T2, and T3 may be
used separately or in any combination. Full
ты аа ола т = те LAA EA A dp AA AA BT tr eT a TA per” =p ae TT to JE
automatic lens operation is not affected by the
extension tubes. Attaching or detaching is done
"y E,
in the same way as for interchangeable lens.
When using extension tubes, the speed of the
f lens is effectively reduced because of the great-
| er distance the light must travel within the
camera to reach the film plane. This effective
F/stop reduction increases as more extension
tubes are added. To compensate for this effect,
f increase exposure according to the exposure
factors given in the table.
NOTE: 1. When using extension tubes, depth-of-field becomes extremely shal-
low. Focusing, therefore becomes very critical. lt is advisable to use as
small an F stop (larger F stop number) as possible for increasing depth-
of- field.
2. In close-up photography. the effect of camera or subject movement is
greatly magnitied. Therefore, to obtain maximum sharpness, it is im-
portant to use a tripod or other support for the camera.
3. In close-up photography litt the mirror up as far as circumstances permit.
(You can substitute self timer for mirror-up).
