Rollei Lens Control S For X-Act1 and X-Act2 works in combination with lens adaptors, film magazine 4560 or digital backs. It is a central control unit for setting f-stops and aperture as well as special functions.
LensControl S is more than just the designation of the control unit developed for X-Act cameras. It stands for the underlying X-Act principle. At the heart of the system are the view-camera lenses with Rollei ElectronicShutter and the medium-format lenses of the Rolleiflex 6000 System with their exclusive Rollei Direct Drive shutters. These allow external control of all camera functions and, in combination with the film magazine and digital backs, provide an unequalled measure of operating comfort.
The dedicated rechargeable battery in the LensControl S unit provides power to the camera and makes the entire system in any configuration independent of an AC supply.
Separate standard and menu modes allow for a wide variety of functions without compromising clarity. In the standard mode controlling shutter speed, aperture and shutter release, only the four buttons in the upper part of the operating panel are active.
Aperture and shutter speeds are set on two handy dials (shaft encoders) and simultaneously displayed on the monitor. Custom functions from the menu are included in the standard display. To save power, the LensControl S has an "ON" timer to switch the unit off after two minutes.
