Slight vignetting or moire phenomenon affects screen image, but film image shows no traces of this.
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.
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 camera’s instruction manual.
MINIMUM APERTURE LOCK -Illusi. A

aperture at f/22.

To release the lock, slide the lever in reverse direction.

Depth of field can be checked with the white indicator 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

Depth of field can also be checked by referring to the table on page 38.
