Usable
lenses
. Most AF Nikkor lenses, AI-type Nikkor lenses and Teleconverters
can be used.
Nikkor lenses are designed to provide full coverage of the 35mm film
format (24mm x 36mm). The CCO
in
the E2/E2s
is
8.7mm x 6.8mm,
which is smaller than the 35mm format,
In
order to provide you with
the full angle of view which you associate with your use of Nikon
35mm cameras for each usable Nikkor lens, the E2/E2s incorporates
high-quality image size reduction optics.
To
ensure lens
performance commensurate with Nikon's customarily high
standards, only the lenses listed
in
the following chart are regarded
as usable with the E2/E2s camera's image reduction system .
Maximum lens apertures
The
E2
/E2s does not use the Nikkor lens' aperture for exposure
control. The lens' aperture remains open all the time for the brightest
viewing. Instead,
an
aperture is built into the camera's image
reduction optics. The maximum aperture available is indicated
in
the
following table.

Apertures outside the above range cannot be set.
The depth-of-field that you see
in
the viewfinder
is
controlled by the lens'
aperture. The actual depth-of-field for the picture will be contro
ll
ed by the
image reduc
ti
on
optics' aperture. Therefore, the actual depth-of-field will
be greater than that seen
in
the viewfinder.
