MOUNTING THE LENS A
To mount, position the lens in the camera's bayonet mount, lining up the aperture
index on the lens with the lens mounting index on the camera. Twist the camera body
clockwise until it clicks into place.
To remove, press the lens release button on the camera and turn the camera body
counterclockwise. For details, refer to the camera's instruction manual.
FOCUSING
Turn the focusing ring until the image in the viewfinder appears sharp and crisp. The
effective focal length may vary in extreme heat or cold. To compensate for this, turn
the lens focusing ring slightly beyond the °° (infinity) position.
Preset Focusing B
When you want to refocus rapidly to a specific object distance, preset the focused
distance.
1.
Loosen the preset-focus ring lock screw and turn the ring in either direction until it
clicks.
2.
Turn the focusing ring to set the desired distance.
3.
Tighten the preset-focus ring lock screw.
It is possible to focus/refocus by turning either the preset-focus ring or focusing ring.

RECOMMENDED FOCUSING SCREENS
Various interchangeable focusing screens are available for F3- and F2-series cameras to
suit any type of lens or picture-taking situation. Those which are recommended for use
with your lens are listed below. For screens used with Nikon cameras other than F3and F2-series cameras (e.g., Nikon FA, FE2, FM2 and FE), refer to the column for F3series cameras. For the K2, B2 and E2 focusing screens, refer to the columns on the K,
B and E screens, respectively. For details, also refer to the specific focusing screen's
instruction sheet.

The split-image rangefinder, microprism or cross-hair area is dim. Focus on the sur-
rounding matte area.

Slight vignetting (or moire phenomenon, in the case of the microprism) affects the
screen image. The image on the film, however, shows no trace of this.
•= Exposure measurement not possible; lens/screen combination permits only focusing operation.

DEPTH OF FIELD
Depth of field can be checked with the color-coded depth-of-field indicators engraved
on the lens barrel.
If your camera has a depth-of-field preview function, it is possible to check the depth
of field in the viewfinder. (For details, see camera instruction manual.)
Depth of field can also be checked by referring to the table on page 42.
INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
In infrared photography, it is necessary to make the following adjustments to the
focused distance.
1.
Focus subject.
2.
Reset the focusing ring to align the focused distance with the infrared focusing
index.
4.
Attach the appropriate filter, such as R60, etc., and take the shot.
USING FILTERS

Nikon L37C filter. A slip-in gelatine filter holder is also supplied with the lens.
Replacing Glass Filters C] #C2-C
1.
Press down on the glass filter holder knob, and turn counterclockwise until the
white line on the knob is at a right angle to the axis of the lens.
2.

4.
Put the holder back, push down on the knob, and turn clockwise to lock.
Using Gelatine Filter D

Cut the gelatine filter into a circle of approx. 55mm (2.2 in.) in diameter.
2.
Open the gelatine filter holder plate by pushing on the latch and lifting up.
3.
Insert the gelatine filter into the holder and close the plate. Make sure the filter is
unscratched and free from dust and take care that it stays flat.
4.
Remove the glass filter holder from the lens and insert the gelatine filter holder.
