  • Page 14: Foreword

    FOREWORD An updated version of Nikon's reknown close-focusing lens, the Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 features a larger maximum aperture. Thus, the image in the viewfinder is brighter and it's easier to focus when the light gets dim or extension rings or a bellows unit are attached.

  • Page 15: Mounting The Lens

    •2) When the lens is used with the Nikon F-401/N4004*, the camera meter coupling function does not operate and the exposure indicator LEDs do not appear. * T h e Nikon N 4 0 0 4 is sold exclusively in the U.S.A.

  • Page 16: Focusing

    FOCUSING Thanks to its fully automatic diaphragm, the Micro- Nikkor can be focused with maximum image bright- ness on the screen throughout the entire focusing range. The depth of field is also minimized at maxi- mum aperture, so that the image snaps in and out of focus rapidly and distinctly.

  • Page 17: Recommended Focusing Screens

    Those which are recommended for use with your lens are listed below. For screens used with Nikon cameras other than F3- and F2- series cameras (e.g., Nikon FA, FE2, FM2 and FE), refer to the column for F3-series cameras.

  • Page 18: Reproduction Ratio

    Reproduction ratio is the relation of the image size to be recorded on the film to the subject size. For ex- ample, if the image on the focusing screen is one-fifth the size of the subject, the reproduction ratio is 1:5, and this is indicated on the reproduc- tion ratio scale on the focusing ring by the figure 5.

    with the white distance indicator line. A i m the camera at the subject and move it toward or away from the subject until the image on the focusing screen is sharp and crisp. Depth of field Micro-Nikkor permits depth-of-field Press the depth-of-field preview button on the camera body and the lens will stop down to the preselected aperture to allow you to see how much background...

    2) When the lens is used with the Nikon F-401/N4004, the camera meter coupling function does not operate and the exposure indicator LEDs do not appear.
  • Page 21 When non-TTL meter is used At close ranges (reproduction ratios greater than 1:10), the amount of light reaching the film decreases as the lens-to-film distance increases. When non-TTL measurement is used for this range, the result is under- exposed photographs unless compensation has been made for this decrease.

  • Page 22: Tips On Close-Up Photography

    TIPS ON CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHY LENS CARE • When using the optional Extension Ring PK-13, Bellows Focusing Attachment PB-6, or other Nikon equipment to obtain a repro- duction ratio of more than 1:2, better opti- cal performance will be obtained by stopping down the lens to f/4 or a smaller aperture setting.
