Before using your new lens, read the following carefully so you get the most out of your
lens now and for years to come.
IMPORTANT!
Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts.
Do not attach the following accessories to the lens, as they might damage the lens' CPU
contacts:
Auto Extension Ring PK-1, Auto Extension Ring PK-11/PK-11A, Kl Ring, Auto Ring
BR-2/BR-2A/BR-4.
This lens cannot be used with the AF Finder
DX-1
attached to the Nikon F3AF camera.
MOUNTING THE LENS
To mount, position the lens on the camera's bayonet mount, lining up the aperture index on the
lens with the lens mounting index on the camera. Twist the camera body clockwise until it
clicks into place.
To remove, press the lens' release button on the camera and turn the camera body
counterclockwise. For details, refer to the camera's instruction manual.
11
FOCUS LOCK (WITH AN F4-SERIES, F90X/N90s, F90-SERIES/N90 OR
F70-SERIES/N70 CAMERA)
When shooting a subject that is off-center or moving in Continuous Servo Autofocus mode,
press this button to lock focus. To cancel focus lock and reactivate autofocus, remove your
finger from the focus lock button. Although AF-Lock function can be set on both camera and
lens,
priority is given to whichever is set first.
FOCUSING LIMIT SWITCH (WITH AN F4-SERIES, F90X/N90s, F90-
SERIES/N90 OR F70-SERIES/N70 CAMERA)
With autofocus operation, you can reduce focusing time by setting the focusing limit switch
according to the pre-determined distance range for the subject(s). There are three focusing limit
zones provided:
Close distance infinity (°°) Set switch to front setting (FULL)
Close distance 10m Set switch to middle setting (10 5m)
10m infinity (°°) Set switch to rear setting° 10m)
RECOMMENDED FOCUSING SCREEN
Various interchangeable focusing screens are available for Nikon cameras to suit any type of lens
or picture-taking situation. Those which are recommended for use with your lens are listed.

©=Excellent focusing
0=Acceptable focusing
Slight vignetting or moire phenomenon affects screen image, but film image shows no
traces of this.
(S)=Acceptable focusing
Split-image rangefinder, microprism or cross-hair area is dim; focus on the surrounding
matte area.
= Exposure measurement is not possible; lens/screen combination permits focusing operation
only.
(
)=
Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed for F4-series cameras (Center-
Weighted metering only). For F4-series cameras, compensate using the Exposure
Compensation Dial for the focusing screen. (See the F4/F4s instruction manual, page 78.)
Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for both macrophotography
at a 1:1 magnification ratio and for photomicrography, it has different applications than other
screens.
For the K2, B2 and E2 focusing screens, refer to the columns on the K, B and E screens,
respectively. For details, also refer to the specific camera's instruction manual.
MINIMUM APERTURE LOCK Must A
For programmed auto or shutter-priority auto shooting, use the minimum aperture lock lever to
lock the lens aperture at f/22.
1.
Set the lens to its minimum aperture (f/22).
2.
Slide lock lever in the direction of the aperture ring and so the white dot on the lever aligns
with the orange dot. (See illust.)
To release the lock, slide the lever in reverse direction.
13
DEPTH OF FIELD
Depth of field can be checked with the white indicator engraved on the lens barrel.
If your camera has a depth-of-field preview function, it is possible to check the depth of field in
the viewfinder. (For details, see camera instruction manual.)
Depth of field can also be checked by referring to the table on page 39.
USING FILTERS
Always use a filter with the lens. The slip-in glass filter holder comes mounted with a Nikon
NC filter. A slip-in gelatine filter holder is also supplied with the lens.
Replacing glass filters Must. B, C, D
1.
Press down on the glass filter holder knob, and turn counterclockwise until the white line on
the knob is at a right angle to the axis of the lens.
2.
Pull the holder out.
3.
Unscrew the mounted filter and replace with the filter you want to use.
4.
Put the holder back, push down on the knob, and turn clockwise to lock.
-Illust. E
Using gelatine filter
1.
Cut the gelatine filter into a circle of approx. 40mm (1.6 in.) in diameter.
2.
Open the gelatine filter holder plate by pushing on the latch and lifting up.
3.
Insert the gelatine filter into the holder and close the plate. Make sure the filter is
unscratched and free of dust and take care that it stays flat.
4.
Remove the glass filter holder from the lens and insert the gelatine filter holder.
USING LENS HOOD HK-21
When shooting in bright sunlight, use the lens hood to prevent stray light from entering lens.
-Illust. F To Use Lens Hood HK-21
1.
Loosen lock screw on the
HK-21.
2.
Slip HK-21 onto the front of the lens.
3.
Tighten the locking screw.
To Store the Lens Hood
Loosen lock screw on the
HK-21.
Reverse the
HK-21,
then slide back onto the lens and tighten
the HK-21 lock screw.

LENS CARE
Clean lens surface with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean cotton
cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular
motion from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces and not to touch the other
lens parts.
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.
Take care in cleaning the rear part of the lens with a spraygun-type blower because its strong
stream of air may damage the lens diaphragm blades. To avoid damage, set the lens at full
aperture and use the blower far enough away.
Always protect the lens surface from dirt or damage. The lens hood also helps to protect the
lens.
Keep the lens cap in place whenever the lens is not in use.
If you will not use the lens for a long time, protect it from rust and mold by storing it in a
cool, dry place. Also, do not store in direct sunlight, and keep it away from naphthalene or
camphor.
Be careful not to get the lens wet or drop it in water. Water on the lens may cause
malfunction.
