up photography
ir nature lovers, scientists, even generai use, ciose-
photography provides the means to see the world
all its smallest details. The following are available
• close-up work at a shorter distance than that of
3 index engraved on the lens:
'Close-up lenses—No. 0, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3T,
No. 4T, No. ST and No. 6T lenses: direct mounting;
normal exposure method.
■Auto rings—PK-11, PK-12 and PK-13; mount be­
tween lens and camera body; usable only in com­
bination with Al lenses: normal exposure method.
Bellows Focusing Attachment PB-6—Use the
aperture control lever of the PB-6 for stop-down
measurement as follows; on A, release the shutter
button after turning the PB-6's aperture control
lever; on manual, turn the aperture control of the
PB-6 and turn either the f/stop or shutter dial until
only the steady LED begins to light, indicating
correct exposure for manual mode. Note that P
(Program) mode is unusable. Shooting magnifi­
cation is successively changeable by the expan­
sion and contraction of the bellows.
Any combination of Nos. 1,2, and 3 is possible.
(4) Micro-Nikkor 55 mm f/2.8, 105 mm f/4 and 200 mm
f/4 (IF)—When using Al-type Micro-Nikkor lenses
at a shooting magnification range from 1/2 to 1/1,
use the Auto Ring PK-13 or Teleconverter TC-200
(in the case of the TC-200, usable from infinity to
1/1 magnification) with the 55 mm f/2.8; use the
PN-11 with the 105 mm f/4. In the case of the
200mm f/4 (IF), the Teleconverter TC-300 is rec­
ommended for photos with a wide magnification
range from Infinity to 1/1. Because both the auto
rings and teleconverters have automatic aperture
coupling devices, they enable automatic exposure
control when combined with Micro-Nikkor lenses.
For close-up photography with these accessories, it
is recommended to shoot at A or manual modes since
depth of field is generally shallow and you must stop
your aperture down as much as possible to get the
greatest area of clear focus. In focusing, it is essen­
tial to focus on the matte field. To measure the exact
distance between the subject and the film plane, use
the film plane indicator.
