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

G3 G4 HI H2

• = 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.
