Jon O'Brien Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Hi, can anyone tell me how you engage the macro function on the Schneider 6-66mm lens that came with some of the Beaulieu 4008 models? I can get mine to focus normally from about 5 feet to infinity but can't get it to focus closer than 5 feet or at macro distances. There is a small metal tab on a ring, at the base of the lens, between the aperture ring and the C mount, that can rotate a short distance. But turning this ring isn't engaging macro focusing on the lens I have. The two 'barrel'-like devices (I suppose for motorized zoom etc) that were originally mounted next to the lens have been removed. I hope the lens I have isn't faulty.

Jon O'Brien Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 All figured out now. That little ring with the tab on it, it does have a bit of free play from side to side, about 1 or 2 cm of travel, while in non-macro setting. It's just that I had to sort of gently 'force' it further to the right (with lens pointing away from me) and then it suddenly yielded and entered the 'macro' zone. And it's focusing very close indeed now. Yay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
