The taking lens is a Lumière Spector 80 mm f/4.5 with front-element focusing, mounted in a leaf shutter with speeds 1 to 1/300 second, plus 'B', and synchronised for flash. The viewing hood incorporates a small extinction meter which permits exposure estimation in combination with a calculator dial on the camera. The extinction scale in the meter shows the letters LUMIPOSE (the name of the meter) rather than numbers.
