Lens mounting and adjusting

Recommended Posts

For for of our technicians I'm in search for a good and extensive description of the installation of a lens, using a filter, backfocusing, etc.

 

Did anyone come accross such an explanation lately?

Is there any online info on this item available.

(Been searching within the websites of the lens manufacturors, but untill now no real help overthere.

Tried also some CCTV books, but no real succes either.

 

Hope some of you found something in the past.

 

Thanks.
