CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHY

For shooting subjects which are located closer than the closest

possible focusing distance of the lens, Nikon offers a wide

variety of close up equipment as shown below.

In close up photography, depth of field is usually quite shallow.

Thus, you should stop the lens down as much as possible when

photographing a subject having great depth

To focus in close-up photography, use the matte portion of the

screen. Or replace the standard Type K2 focusing screen with

the Type B2 or E2 screen. (For details about interchangeable

focusing screens, refer to page 66.)

To measure the exact distance between the subject and film

plane, use the film plane indicator ^~r which indicates the exact

position of the film plane inside the camera. The distance

between the film plane and the lens mounting flange is exactly

46.5 mm.

Close-Up Equipment

• Close-Up Attachment Lenses Nos. 0, 1, 2, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T.

These lenses screw into the front of the lens just like filters to

magnify the image Exposure metering can still be done at full

aperture without compensation.

• Auto Extension Rings PK-11, PK-12, PK-13. These fit

between the lens and camera body. Used singly or in

combination, exposure determination is done at full aperture

with all Al-type lenses.

• Bellows Attachment PB-6. The PB-6 is also attached

between the lens and camera body. Exposure is determined

by the stop-down method with centerweighted metering. The

beauty of this accessory is that you can change

magnifications continuously by extending the bellows.

• Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8, 105mm f/2.8, 200mm f/4 IF

lenses. These specially designed lenses for close-up

photography offer continuous focusing from infinity down to

1/2X lifesize.
