CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHY
Close-Up Photography
Nikon has a vast array of accessories for entering the exciting
world of close-up photography:
1) Close-Up Lenses Nos. 0,1,2, 3T, 4T, 5T, and 6T.
Since these lenses are attached to the front of the lens in use,
metering can still be done at full aperture.
2) Auto Extension Rings PK-11A, 12, and 13.
3) Bellows Focusing Attachment PB-6.
The Auto Extension Rings and the PB-6 are attached between
the lens and camera body. If one of the rings is used with an
Al lens, exposure determination is at full aperture because
the exposure meter is linked to the automatic diaphragm of
the lens. As for the PB-6, stop-down exposure measurement
is necessary because the exposure meter is not linked with
the automatic diaphragm of the lens. You can change magni
fications continuously by extending the bellows.
Note, too, that it is possible to use a close-up lens, ring and
the PB-6 all at the same time,
4) Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8, AF Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8,
105mm f/2.8, and 200mm f/4 IF. These specially designed
lenses offer continuous focusing from infinity down to 1/2X
lifesize. The closest focused distance of the lenses are 0.25m
(0.82ft), 0.23m (0.75ft), 0.41m (1.34ft), and 0.71m (2.84ft),
respectively.
Note that in close-up photography, depth of field is generally
shallow. Thus, you should stop down as much as possible in
photographing a subject with very little depth. It is also advisable
to use the Type K2’s matte field for focusing, because it is not
easy to focus with the split-image range-finder or microprism
collar. Or use Type B2 or E2 instead.
Note:
Non-A! extension rings, such as the PK-1, 2, 3, PN-1, etc., cannot
be attached to the FE2.
