BEFORE USING THE LENS
(Read the following carefully to get the most out of your new lens now and
in the many years to come.)
You now own one of the lightest and most compact zoom lenses in the most-used
focal lengths for maximum versatility in everyday picture taking. Your new Zoom-
Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 is versatile, easy-to-operate, compact and high per-
formance. It gives you a choice of focal lengths from a wideangle 35mm to a
moderate telephoto 70mm. And you can move right up to smaller subjects with
the built-in macro focusing at any focal length. Use it for regular snapshots,
souvenir photos, portraits and close-up photography.
Zooming and focusing are accomplished through two independent rings so once
you have focused on your subject you can frame it with the zoom without losing
sharpness. The minimum focusing distance is normally 0.5m
(2
ft),
but you can
get continuous focusing all the way down to 0.35m (1 ft) through the equipped
macro function. The maximum reproduction ratio is
1:4.4.
For even greater
magnification,'just add an optional Nikon close-up lens. For special effects, the
front attachment size of 52mm makes the maximum number of optional filters
available to you.
Constructed of the highest quality Nikon glass, this zoom lens produces sharp
images with high contrast from the shortest to the longest focal length with all
abberations well corrected. In addition, Nikon Integrated Coating (NIC) is applied
to all air-to-glass surfaces of the lens elements to minimize ghost images and
flare and produce photographs with natural color rendition.
The lens offers "automatic maximum aperture indexing"
(Al) with
suitably equipped
cameras, via the meter coupling ridge provided (except
F-401
/N4004*). The meter
coupling ridge and automatic diaphragm function together to permit full aperture
exposure measurement. For non-AI type Nikon cameras, this lens is also fitted with
a meter coupling shoe to permit the same operation.
•The Nikon N4004 is sold exclusively in the
U.S.A.
