FOCUSING/DETERMINING THE EXPOSURE
This lens focuses
in
the
same way as
other
Nikon/Nikkor
lenses
do
.
Therefore
, if
the
reproduction
ratio
is
less
important
to
you,
simply
turn
the
focusing ring until
the
subject
appears sharp
in
the
viewfinder.
How
ever,
if
you
wish
to
take
pictures
at
a
certain
reproduction
ratio, first
set
the
focusing ring
to
the
desired
setting
(e.g.
1/4X)
and
then
move
in
and
out
until
the
subject
appears
sharp. This will
produce
photographs
at
a
predetermined
reproduction
ratio.
Because
the
focusing ring
is
coupled
to
the
diaphragm,
once
the
lens
is
focused,
the
aperture
is
simultaneously
set
to
provide
the
correct
exposure
when
using
the
ringlight.
If
the
ambient
light
is
dim, use
the
focusing lamp
to
illuminate
the
subject.
(For
details, see page
18.)
Note
1: If
you
are using a
camera
with a split-image rangefinder
and/or
microprism focusing aid,
they
may
become
dark and
cannot
be used.
In
this case,
focus
on
the
surrounding
matte
fiel d instead.
Note
2: If
you
want
to
convert
the
distance
scale
to
feet,
use
the
distance scale conversion
sticker
provided.
First peel
off
the
sticker's
backing;
then
attach
the
sticker
to
the
focusing ring
on
top
of
the
meter
scale.
