Also it is unnecessary to refocus when adding the second film.
Likewise when a single film is reversed emulsion to base.
At larger apertures and at larger magnifications depth of field is less.
## BOLEX PRISM
It isn't a worry.
There isn't a distinction between RX lenses and non-RX lenses for most any lens which will be used on a bellows for optical printing.
## BOLEX GROUNDGLASS
Only for the best optical printer lenses, which will be used at apertures larger than f/4, does the Bolex groundglass need to be reset from its everyday position.
## DEFOCUS
To throw an image out of focus without changing its size, if printing at 1:1, move the camera a distance and the lens 1/2 this distance, in the same direction.
## X-Y ADJUSTMENT
Besides its to and fro movement the lens has lateral movements.
These adjust the position of the original frame's image on the print frame.
For example, if the lens is raised a bit...

At 1:1 moving the lens up a distance d raises the viewed field by twice d.
Likewise for down, right, and left.
At `M > 1` lateral adjustment effects a scan of the original frame.
This is not geometrically equivalent to a pan, bad it been made in the original photography.
On simple optical printers the only lateral adjustment is of the lens (rather than the heavier camera or gate).
This is geometrically adequate.
But the J-K adjustments are even too flimsy for a lens.
It helps, after they are set, to gently tap the lens, so it finds a stable position, and then to readjust if necessary, etc., etc.
