http://www.davidrichert.com/zeiss_521_16_compur_rapid_shutter.htm This covers all of that pretty well. The shutter speeds part will probably be the hardest, as you will probably have to do lots of fiddling. Just make sure to work very slowly. Take photos at each stage detailing the important orientation and alignment of everything. Keep everything seperate, and avoid working in a room with carpet on the floor, as it will gobble small bits relentlessly (ideally don't drop anything anyway, but especially on carpet). Focus calibration can be achieved by winding a 6cm wide piece of wax or parchment paper onto a 120 film roll, and then tightly connecting it from the left-right side just as if it is a roll of film. Make sure its tight! Then using the B setting and a cable release (or T if it works), and the widest aperture, and the back off so you can see the tight wax paper surogate, then hold the camera up to well lit objects and calibrate the focus accordingly. |
