Recommended focusing screens

Various interchangeable focusing screens are available for certain Nikon SLR
cameras to suit any picture-taking situation. The ones recommended for use with this
lens are:

Excellent focusing
Acceptable focusing
Sprit-image rangefinder, microprism or cross-hair area is dim; focus on the surrounding
matte area.

Acceptable focusing
Slight vignetting or moiré patterns appear in the viewfinder, but not on the film.

Exposure measurement is not possible; lens/screen combination permits focusing operation only.

( ) Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (Center-Weighted metering only). For F5

cameras, compensate using Custom Setting #18 on the camera body. For F4-Series cameras,
compensate using the Exposure Compensation Dial for the focusing screen.

Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for both macrophotography at a 1:1
magnification ratio and for photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.
When using the B2/B3, E2/E3 and K2/K3 focusing screens in cameras other than those listed above,
refer to the columns for the B, E and K screens.

Built-in rotating tripod collar

When shooting vertical pictures, loosen the tripod collar lock screw by turning it
counterclockwise, rotate the lens to an appropriate position, then tighten the screw
clockwise.
•When holding the camera by its handgrip and rotating the camera with the lens

in its tripod collar, your hand may bump into the tripod, depending on the tripod
in use.
