i. Calibration of Camera to Lens. The camera is
received calibrated. It is calibrated to a predetermined
focusing system for accurately positioning the lensboard
and copyboard for any ratio of enlargement or reduction
over the specified ranges for lenses furnished. Each
lens is accompanied by focusing charts providing easily
legible counter readings for each percentage of reduction
and enlargement over the range of reproduction.

focusing system.
