Nikon fe2 - Manual (Page 59)

Filters
Made of optical glass produced in Nikon’s own glassworks,
Nikon filters allow you to balance the light to match your film or
to create interesting artistic effects. As shown in the table,
Nikon filters are broadly divided into the screw-in type and the
drop-in type. For the Nikon FE2, the filter factor can be ignored
except in the case of the R60. When using the R60 in tungsten
lighting, set the aperture one f/stop wider than the figure indi­
cated by the exposure meter.
Notes:
1) For lens protection, the L37C is recommended.
2) When shooting a backlit subject or if there's a bright light source in the
frame, a ghost image is likely to result from the use of a filter. In this
case, you should take the picture without a filter.

Lens Hoods
Recommended to prevent extraneous light from striking the
lens, Nikon’s lens hoods come in four styles: screw-in, slip-on,
snap-on, and collapsible-rubber. Every lens should be fitted with
the lens hood specially designed for it. Note, however, that some
lens hoods can be used in common by several lenses.
