Nikon 105mm F/2.8 Camera Lens User Manual


 
BEFORE USING THE LENS
(Read the following carefully and get the most out
of your new lens now and in the many years to
come.)
You now own one of the brightest, easiest-to-focus
telephoto lenses for close-up photography-the
Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8. And now it's all yours:
beautiful close-up shots of the hardest-to-capture
subjects/ from shy butterflies to wriggling reptiles,
taken from a safe distance without disturbing your
subjects ... or endangering
yourself;
captivating
portraits; and fascinating photos shot when lighting
is less than perfect. With the Micro-Nikkor 105mm,
viewfinder image is bright and clear, even in dim
illumination. You can focus easily . . . and see the
difference in your photography immediately.
Even with its long focal length, the Micro-Nikkor
105mm stands out as compact and easy to handle.
That's because its special optical construction means
only a slight increase in lens extension, even when
you're focusing at close distances. And of course
Nikon has assured good performance from infinity
down to the closest focusing distance (0.41m,
1.34ft)
with a 1:2 reproduction ratio, even at full
aperture, with its Close-Range Correction System.
With NIC (Nikon Integrated Coating) applied to the
air-to-glass surfaces of the lens element, not only do
you avoid ghost images and flare, but color rendition
is also improved.
And with suitably equipped Nikon cameras, this lens
offers "Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing"
(AI),
permitting full aperture exposure measurement
through the dual functioning of the meter coupling
ridge and automatic diaphragm. You can get the
same operation with non-AI type Nikon cameras by
using the lens' metering coupling shoe.
For further focusing extension from 1:2, just attach
the Auto Extension Ring
PN-11,
a Teleconvertor or
a bellows attachment.
