FOREWORD
With a twist of its zooming
ring,
the Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 offers you a
choice of the most widely used local lengths from 35mm wideangle through
50mm normal, to 70mm moderate telephoto with everything in between. In
addition,
at the 70mm focal length setting a special macro focusing button
allows you to shoot macro photography down to 0.35m {1.2 ft) camera-to-
subject distance. At this distance, the subject is pictured 1/4X life size.
Contributing to its compact design, the front attachment size was reduced to
62mm—appreciably smaller than the 72mm size usually found on other Nikon
wideangle zoom lenses. In addition, it has independent focusing and zooming
rings,
allowing rapid changes of focal length without affecting the focusing.
With an innovative optical design of 10 elements in 9 groups, the Zoom-Nikkor
35-70mm delivers sharp images with virtually no distortion. Moreover, Nikon
Integrated Coating (NIC) was applied to the air-to-glass surfaces of lens elements
to minimize ghost images and flare while insuring better contrast and color
rendition.
Actually four functions in one (wideangle, normal, telephoto and macro), the
Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 is perfect for snapshots, travel and wedding photog-
raphy, portraits, and macro photography.
The lens couples fully to both the full-aperture metering systems and automatic
diaphragm mechanisms of all Nikon and Nikkormat cameras.
MOUNTING A
Align the aperture index of the lens with the mounting index of the camera; then
position the lens in the camera's bayonet mount. Twist the lens counterclockwise
until it clicks into place.
When mounting the lens on a camera with a meter coupling lever (Al type),
make sure that the camera's meter coupling lever is correctly positioned; when
mounting on a camera without this lever (non-AI type), "manual" maximum aper-
ture indexing is required. In both cases, refer to the camera's instruction manual.

FOCUSING
B •
C
The Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 focuses from infinity down to 0.7m (2.5 ft). Note
that the longer the focal length, the larger the image and the shallower the depth
of
field.
To focus, rotate the focusing ring until the image on the viewfinder
screen appears sharp and crisp. (You don't have to refocus every time you
change focal lengths.) You can prefocus by using the distance scale, which is
engraved in both meters and feet on the focusing
ring.
Make sure you align for
distance index (black dot) with the camera-to-subject distance as measured or
estimated.
Macro Focusing
By setting the zooming ring to 70mm (engraved in orange) and pulling back the
macro focusing button (so that the arrow on the button is directly above the
orange M on the zooming ring), you can focus continuously from infinity (»)
down to 0.35m (1.2 ft). At this distance, the reproduction ratio is 1/4X. The
macro focusing range is indicated by an orange line on the focusing
ring.
With
the macro focusing button engaged, the zooming ring is locked at the 70mm
setting.
To return the lens to normal zoom operation, turn the focusing ring until the
orange line is no longer opposite the white distance index and push the macro
focusing button forward. Now, you can rotate the zooming ring as usual.
Recommended Focusing Screens
Various interchangeable focusing screens are available for Nikon F3- and F2-
series cameras to suit any type of lens or picture-taking situation. Those which
are recommended for use with this Zoom-Nikk'or 35-70mm f/3.5 lens are listed
below. As to the screens used for Nikon cameras other than F3- and F2-series
cameras
(e.g.,
Nikon FA, FE2, FM2 and FE), refer to the column for F3-series
cameras. (For details, also refer to your focusing screen's instruction sheet).
• When the Teleconverter TC-201 or TC-200 is attached to this lens, use the

•When the Teleconverter TC-14A is attached to this lens, use the following table;
G3 G4 HI H2
© = Excellent focusing
• = Acceptable focusing
The split-image rangefinder, microprism or cross-hair area is dim. Focus
on the surrounding matte area.
O = Acceptable focusing
Slight vignetting (or moire phenomenon, in the case of the microprism)
affects the screen image. The image on the
film,
however, shows no trace
of this.
El = Exposure measurement not possible; lens/screen combination permits only
focusing operation.
Blank means inapplicable.
ZOOMING D
By rotating the zoom control
ring,
the focal length of the lens can be varied
con-
tinuously between 35 and 70mm. This enables you to
"trim"
the composition to
fit the film frame exactly. Once set, the focus does not change regardless of the
focal length used. However, it is recommended that you focus on the maximum
zoom setting (70mm) and zoom back to the preferred composition; since depth
of field is shallowest at longer focal lengths, focusing is made easier. This
tech-
nique will assure you of obtaining the maximum image quality that the Zoom-
Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 can produce.
DEPTH-OFFIELD SCALE
Unlike other Nikkor lenses, the Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 has no color-coded
depth-of-field indicators engraved on the lens barrel. However, you can still
determine the depth of field by using the scales on page 25.
To use, first cut out the scales along the lines indicated. Then, place the subject-
distance scale (B) over the depth-of-field scale (A) with the top edge of the B
scale lined up with the focal length in use and the focused distance aligned with
the A scale's central indicator line. Now read off the numbers (on the B scale)
which appear opposite the pair of depth-of-field lines (on the A scale) corre-
sponding to the aperture in use; these numbers express the depth of field for the
settings in use. For example, if the lens is prefocused at 3m (10 ft) with the focal
length set at 60mm and the aperture at f/16, the numbers on the distance scale
opposite the depth-of-field lines for the f/16 setting show that the depth of field
extends from 2m (6.6 ft) to 5m (16.6 ft). You can also observe the depth of field
through the viewfinder by pressing the depth-of-field preview button on the
camera.
INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
In infrared photography, the plane of focus is slightly behind that of visible light.
Consequently, when you are using infrared film in the camera, you have to
compensate for this difference in focus. With the Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5,
two infrared focusing indices are provided for the focal lengths of 35 and 70mm,
You first focus on your subject in the normal way, then read off the camera-to-
subject distance indicated on the focusing
ring.
This distance is then set against
the corresponding infrared focusing index for the focal length you are using. For
intermediate focal lengths, you can estimate the corresponding corrective point,
using the engraved lines as a guide.
The scales on page 25 can be used for determining the amount of adjustment
via the dotted infrared compensation line included
In the same manner as described in the "depth-of-field scale" section, match
the prefocused subject distance (using the B scale) with the focal length and
aperture scate central indicator line (on the A scale). The distance from the
central indicator line to the dotted compensation line represents the amount of
adjustment required Now, turn the lens' focusing ring counterclockwise until
the prefocused distance is shifted as prescribed on the scales.

LENS CARE
• Althouogh you should always keep the lens surfaces clean, rough cleaning
must be avoided. Wipe with a soft, clean cotton cloth moistened with alcohol to
remove grease or fingerprints from the lens surfaces.
If you use ether in cleaning the lens, a smudge sometimes appears on the
surface of a multi-coated lens. If this happens, wipe it again with a cotton cloth
moistened with alcohol.
• To protect the lens surface from dirt or damage, the use of an L37C or L1BC
filter is recommended at all times. The lens hood also helps to protect the lens.
• Keep the lens cap in place whenever the lens is not in use.
• Attach both the front and rear caps when the lens is stored separately.
• To ensure proper fit of the lens when stored in the leather lens case, set the
lens'
focusing ring to the infinity (*>) setting.
