  • Page 4: Foreword

    FOREWORD Representing a true breakthrough in lens design, the Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4 IF is the world's first 200mm "micro" lens. By utiliz- ing internal focusing (IF), a system in which the lens elements move inside the lens, there is absolutely no increase in the overall length of the lens barrel as the lens is focused closer.

  • Page 5: Mounting The Lens

    MOUNTING THE LENS Position the lens in the camera's bayonet mount, aligning the aperture scale index dot on the lens with the lens mounting index on the camera body. Twist the lens counter- clockwise until it clicks into place. To remove, depress the lens release button on the camera and twist the lens clockwise.

  • Page 6: Focusing

    The fully automatic diaphragm of the Micro- Nikkor enables focusing with maximum image brightness throughout the entire focusing range of the lens. As the image is constantly viewed at the maximum aperture setting (i.e., f/4), the depth of field is minimized so that the image snaps in and out of focus rapidly and distinctly.

  • Page 7: Recommended Focusing Screens

    For screens used with Nikon cameras other than F3-and F2-series cameras (e.g., Nikon FA, FE2, FM2 and FE), refer to the columns for F3-series cameras. For the K2, B2 and E2 focusing screens, refer to the columns on the K, B and E screens, respective- ly.

    (close to, or farther away from, the sub- ject) until the image appears sharp and crisp on the focusing screen. When the Nikon Teleconverter TC-301 is at- tached, the reproduction ratio increases to 1:1 and the automatic diaphragm still functions as before.

  • Page 9: Depth Of Field

    Depth of Field Depth of field refers to the zone of acceptable focus extending in front of and behind the plane of sharpest focus. As this zone is excep- tionally shallow at high reproduction ratios, previewing is desirable before shooting. To pre- view, press the depth-of-field button on the camera and the lens will close to the preselect- ed aperture to allow you to see how much...

  • Page 10: Determining Exposure 1 0 - 1

    The Micro-Nikkor has an automatic diaphragm Full-aperture with settings from f/4 to f/32 and couples to the Stop-down thru-the-lens meter of the Nikon F3, any Nikon F2 Photomic or other Nikon/Nikkormat cameras Stop-down for full-aperture exposure measurement over the Stop-down entire range of aperture settings.

  • Page 11: Without Ttl Metering

    Without T T L Metering A t close ranges (reproduction ratios greater than 1:10), the amount o f light reaching the film decreases as the extension between the lens and f i l m plane increases. When non-TTL measurement is used for this range, the result is underexposed photographs unless compensation has been made for this decrease.
