[. . . ] ( )= Indicates degree of exposure compensation. Blank means not usable. 17 Reproduction ratio is the relation of the image size to be recorded on the film to the subject size. For example, if the image on the focusing screen is one-fifth the size of the subject, the reproduction ratio is 1:5, and this is indicated on the reproduction ratio scale on the focusing ring by the figure 5. Focusing at predetermined reproduction ratio In front of the distance scale are two reproduction ratio scales engraved in orange. The inner scale with figures from 1:10 to 1:2 represents values obtained when the lens is used alone, while the outer scale with figures from 1:2 to 1:1 represents values obtained with the PK-I3 ring. Using either of these scales, you can photograph a subject at a predetermined reproduction ratio without any complex calculation. To photograph a subject at 1:5 reproduction ratio, for example, just turn the focusing ring so that the figure 5 on the reproduction ratio scale aligns with the white distance indicator line. A i m the camera at the subject and move it toward or away from the subject until the image on the focusing screen is sharp and crisp. Depth of field The Micro-Nikkor permits depth-of-field preview. Press the depth-of-field preview button on the camera body and the lens will stop down to the preselected aperture to allow you to see how much background or foreground is in focus. Depth of field can also be observed by reading the color-coded scale engraved on the lens barrel. The pairs of colored lines on either side of the white indicator line correspond to f/numbers of the same color. A t close distances so little is in focus that the depthof-field tables on pages 24—25 are more useful. To avoid camera shake, close-up photography poses several problems not encountered in general photography. One of these is sensitivity to vibration: the magnification of the image on the film makes even slight image displacement prominent and results in a blurred image. Therefore, for best results, mount the camera on a tripod or on rigid supports, and use a cable release to trip the shutter. At extremely close working distances, depth of field decreases to the actual focused distance. This can be partially compensated for by stopping down the lens. But at very close distances an extremely narrow depth of field is inevitable. Careful placement of the subject, if it has depth, will be necessary to ensure that the important surfaces will be in the same zone of sharpness. 19 DETERMINING EXPOSURE P K - I 1 A . 1 2 , 1 3 , and Full aperture TC-201, 200, 14A PK-1, 2, 3 Stop-down Bellows, E2 and K rings Stop-down PK-11A, 12, 13, and Stop-down TC-201, 200, 14A *non-AI PK-1, 2, 3 Full aperture non-AI Stop-down Bellows, E2 and K rings * With this combination, conventional "manual" aperture i ndexing is required. Al Al non-AI Al B — 1 With built-in TTL meter The Micro-Nikkor has an automatic diaphragm and a set of click-stop aperture settings ranging from f/2. 8 to f/32. The Micro-Nikkor couples fully to the thruthe-lens meter. of any F/F2 Nikon Photomic or other Nikon/Nikkormat camera for full aperture exposure measurement over the entire range of aperture settings.
