I read that when it was published. Amazing machine. It's for measuring lenses though not adjusting them. I still reckon the mallet shown in the pics is the adjustment tool

some comparisons are kind of interesting."
A mallet is always handy whatever you are doing

Also a Tiffen Haze-1 Filter will increase the contrast particularly
at the edges....

Perhaps they realized they made a mistake with the K3 or it's
just that they don't know what they are doing Or they
are looking to buy the 'Bronica' trademark
For some reason it's being kept separate from the
Ricoh Pentax DSLR lines?
Will the pros who buy it know that there's no such
thing as a Pentax homepage...... It's all Ricoh now!

It's shown on the leaflet .....

The best beamsplitter is the Carl Zeiss Steritar which used
prisms instead of mirrors. Unfortunately they go for about £300
Some samples here

from about 50mm to 300mm. It also has a variable centre baffle
to control the dark strip up the middle. Very well made.
I don't think a lens wider then 50mm will work.

I suppose they could have included "Would be highly suitable
for landfill" but that would upset the greens

but it gets complicated if the manufacturer also gives a
2 year warranty..... You have to prove that you registered
it with the manufacturer

I've never dealt with them so I'm not commenting on what
their service is like if you have to return faulty goods.

They open their beaks to cool down. That's also the
reason for the bath.
