Usable lenses

iMost AF Nikkor lenses, Al-type Nikkor lenses and Teleconverters

can be used.

Nikkor lenses are designed to provide full coverage of the 35mm film

format (24mm x 36mm). The CCD in the E2/E2s is 8.7mm x 6.8mm,

which is smaller than the 35mm format, In order to provide you with

the full angle of view which you associate with your use of Nikon

35mm cameras for each usable Nikkor lens, the E2/E2s incorporates

high-quality image size reduction optics. To ensure lens

performance commensurate with Nikon’s customarily high

standards, only the lenses listed in the following chart are regarded

as usable with the E2/E2s camera’s image reduction system.

■Maximum lens apertures

The E2/E2S does not use the Nikkor lens’ aperture for exposure

control. The lens’ aperture remains open all the time for the brightest

viewing. Instead, an aperture is built into the camera’s image

reduction optics. The maximum aperture available is indicated in the

following table.

Lens max. aperture

Available aperture range

f/1.2tof/5.6 f/6.5 to f/38

Slower than f/5.6 to f/7.3

f/8 to f/38

Slower than f/7.3 to f/9.5

f/9.5 to f/38

Slower than f/9.5

Max. aperture value* to f/38

Apertures can be set in 1/2 step increments.

Apertures outside the above range cannot be set.

The depth-of-field that you see in the viewfinder is controlled by the lens’

aperture. The actual depth-of-field for the picture will be controlled by the

image reduction optics’ aperture. Therefore, the actual depth-of-field will

be greater than that seen in the viewfinder.
