C-PL1L slip-in circular polarizing filter (optional)

• Blocks reflections from nonmetallic surfaces such as glass and water.
• The focus point of a C-PL1L slip-in circular polarizing filter differs from that of

a 52mm screw-in filter. The distance scale is shifted from the correct position.
The closest focused distance is extended slightly.

• The memory set position may change slightly when using focus preset. Attach

the C-PL1L filter before using the memory set function.

13. 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

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

―: Not available.
( ): Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (Center-Weighted

metering only). For F6 cameras, compensate by selecting “Other screen“ in
Custom Setting “b6: Screen comp.“ and setting the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0
in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B or E, “Other screen“
must be selected even when the required compensation value is “0“ (no
compensation required). 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. See user’s manual of
the camera body for more details.

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.
