USING THE FILTERS
The Reflex-Nikkor 1000mm f/11 is provided with a set of five filters for attaching
individually to the rear of the lens. To attach a filter, remove the lens from the camera
body in the normal way and simply screw the desired 39mm filter onto the threaded
filter mount provided at the tear of the lens. Note that the lens comes with the L37C
filter mounted on the lens, with the remaining four filters stored in the filter case in
the flap of the lens case; one filter must be mounted at all times on the lens. In addi
tion to the supplied set of five 39mm-diameter filters, the following 39mm screw-in
filters are available as optional equipment: Skylight (LIBC), Medium Yellow (Y48),
Deep Yellow (Y52), Red (R60), Neutral Density (ND2X and ND8X), Amber (A12),
Medium Blue (B8), and Deep Blue (B12). The following table details the various 39mm
filters available from Nikon.

OBTAINING CORRECT EXPOSURE
Your lens is the fixed-aperture type and will not couple with the TTL exposure meter
ing system that may be built into some camera bodies. To get the correct exposure,
please refer to the stopped-down exposure measurement section in the camera’s instruc
tion manual.
Remember that even if you set the camera to its top shutter speed, you won’t be able
to obtain correct exposure. A rule of thumb is to use the neutral density filter.
