system
Matte system
Horizontal and
vertical line
etched system
Suitable for general photography.
Has microprism collar around the
central split-image rangefinder spot.
With PC-Nikkor or lenses having a
maximum aperature slower than f/4.5.
the split-image rangefinder or micro
prism collar is dim. In this case, focus
on the surrounding matte area.
Works well for general photography,
close-up photography and duplication
work. Especially useful for people
who prefer to focus on the matte
focusing spot at the center of the
screen, or when it is inconvenient to
use the split-image rangefinder for
focusing, as is the case with telephoto
lenses.
Extremely useful in pictorial compo
sition. Consists of Type B2 matte field
with etched horizontal and vertical
lines. Especially handy when using
PC-Nikkor lenses.
Type K2/B2/E2 screens
Caution:
Type K2/B2/E2 focusing screens have a notched tab. If you use
the Type K/B/E screen, you must make exposure compensation by setting
the exposure compensation dial to -1/3. However, no exposure com
pensation is necessary when performing TTL auto flash photography with
a Type K/B/E screen installed in the FE2.
