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.
When using the B/B2/B3, E/E2/E3, and K/K2/K3 focusing screens in cameras
other than those listed above, refer to the columns on the F4 + DP-20’s B, E and
K screens, respectively.

flash
All Nikon cameras having built-in flash are usable and no vignetting occurs.
Using a Tripod (Fig. 4)
This lens is equipped with a detachable rotating tripod collar. When using a
tripod, attach it to the lens’ tripod collar instead of the camera. To attach the
tripod collar to the lens, follow these steps:
1 Loosen the tripod collar lock screw 1 slightly.
2 Insert the lens by aligning the tripod collar alignment index on the lens with
the mark on the tripod collar.
2
3 Turn the lens to an appropriate position index 3 (three indexes are provided
every 90°) on the tripod collar by aligning the tripod collar alignment index
on the lens, then tighten the screw.
(If the screw is not tight, the lens
may accidentally come off the tripod collar.)
