Thank you for your kind patronage of Nikon.
Features of the AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm 1/2.8 0 lens are:
.Compact and lightweight micro lens
.Closest focus distance of O.219m (8 3/4 in.)
.Distance information used for 3D Matrix Metering or the 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash I
be transmitted instantly from the lens to the camera body.
Before using your new lens, read the following carefully so you get the most out of your lens nO'l
and for years to come.
Important!
.Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts.
.Do not attach the following accessories directly to the lens, as they might damage the lens' C
contacts:
Auto Extension Ring PK-1, Auto Extension Ring PK-11, K1 Ring, Auto Ring BR-4, Macro Ada~
Ring BR-2 or K2 Ring.
(Use PK-11A instead of PK-11, BR-2A of BR-2.)
.Depending on the camera model, the lens cannot be mounted with the minimum aperture loe
Before mounting the lens, make sure the minimum aperture is not locked (for details, see "M
mum Aperture Lock").
.This lens cannot be used with AF finder DX-1 (for the Nikon F3AF).
Focusing
This lens can be used for both autofocus and manual focus.
To select auto focus, while pressing the A-M ring lock button, turn the A-M ring so that "A" is
aligned with the A-M index. With the Nikon F-501/N2020', setting to M may cause camera to
malfunction.
To select manual, turn the A-M ring so "M" is aligned with the A-M index. With the Nikon F-51
N2020, also set the camera's focus mode selector as desired.
.When using a close-up attachment lens, autofocusing is not possible; use manual focusing.
.The Nikon N2020 is sold exclusively in the U.S.A. and Canadian markets.

Presetting focus range
~in cases when you want to shoot within a specified distance range, you can
reduce focusing time by setting the focus limit switch from FULL position to
LIMIT. (There are two focusing limit zones; approx. a.3m [1 ft.] to infinity for
normal shooting, approx. a.3m [1 ft.] to a.219m [83/4 in.] for shooting at a
close distance.)
Focusing at a predetermined reproduction ratio
The reproduction ratio is the relation between the size of the image
recorded on film and the actual subject size. If, for example, the Image on
the focusing screen is one. fifth the actual subject size, the reproduction
ratio is 1: 5.
To photograph at a predetermined reproduction ratio, use the following
procedure:
1. Manually turn the focus ring until the desired reproduction scale number
is aligned with the distance index.
2. Aim at the subject, then change your position, moving closer to or farther
away from the subject, until the image in the viewfinder sharpens.
To obtain the appropriate reproduction ratio for each focal distance, see the
table on page 37.
Recommended Focusing Screens
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.
D.=Acceptable focusing
The in-focus image in the central circular area may prove to be slightly
out of focus on the film. Focus on the surrounding matte area.
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.
Depth of Field
The depth of field indicator lines are engraved beside the distance index
line. At close distances, however, so little is in focus that it may be more
useful to check the depth of field table (on page 37). If your camera has a
depth of field preview button or depth of field preview lever, you can check
the depth of field in the viewfinder.
Minimum Aperture Lock (lilust. A)
For programmed auto or shutter-priority auto exposure shooting, use the
minimum aperture lock lever to lock the lens aperture at 1/32.
1. Set the lens to its minimum aperture (1/32).
2. Slide the lock lever in the direction of the aperture ring so the white dot
on the lever aligns with the orange dot.
To release the lock, slide the lever in reverse direction.

Notes on Close-up Photography and Duplication Work
Camera shake
The AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm 1/2.8 D provides such exceptionally high image
magnification that even the slightest movement during shooting causes a
blurred image. Be sure to mount the camera on a tripod and use a cable
release or remote cord to release the shutter.
Close working distances
At the high reproduction ratios used in close-up shooting, the depth of field is
very shallow. To ensure greater depth of field, stop down the lens, then
carefully position the camera to ensure the most important surface of the
subject is in the same zone of sharp focus.
Exposure measurement with close-up attachments
For a lens in normal position, see the following table. For a reverse-position
lens, be sure to use stop-down measurement.
10
0The F-401 slN4004s) exposure metering system will not work with F
11A, PK-12, PK-13 or bellows.
1) For stop-down exposure metering, consult your camera's instruction
manual.
2) Lens modification required. After mounting modified lens. manually
perform maximum aperture indexing.
3) The Nikon N90s. N90. N70, N50. N8008. N8008s and N4004s are
exclusively in the U. SA
4) The Nikon N2000 is sold exclusively in the U.S.A. and Canadian mar
Exposure Compensation
At a close distance (at reproduction ratios 1:10 or greater). the amounl
light reaching the film decreases as the lens-to-film distance increase~
When shooting without TTL exposure metering Q.e., when performing I
TTL auto flash photography, or when using a separate exposure meter
etc,). make exposure compensation while referring to the table below:
To compensate exposure without increasing aperture more than one full 1
use slower shutter speeds, For example, fora 1:1 reproduction ratio, USI
shutter speed one step slower, then open the lens by 2/3 stop. Or use
shutter speed two steps slower, then stop the lens down by 1/3 stop.

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.
.Never use thinner or benzine to clean the lens.
.To protect the lens surface from dirt or damage, the use of an NC 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.
.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.
.Reinforced plastic is used on the exterior of the lens unit; to avoid
damage. take extra care to never leave the lens in an excessively hot
place.

Photographic Range with Close-up Attachment (in.)
.The oplional Adapter Ring BR-5 (for PB-6. PB-6E, PB-6M or PS-6) or BR-2A (for others) is required to mount
the lens in the reverse postion.
.. Use of this lens with both the No. 5T and No. 6T close. up attachments is not recommended, as this
combination will not produce good definition in close-up photography.
... The first values are for the PK.llA ring used alone and the other ones for the PK-l1A -PK-13, PK-ll -
PK-13 or PK-l -PK-3 rings used together. However, the PK.l1 and PK-l rings cannot be attached directly
to the lens.
The Macro Ring Adapter BR-3 or BR-6 is used to connect the reverse mounted lens to the copying adapter.
...oo The figures shown here represent the ranges obtained with the subject on the baseplate, using Ihe lens
wilhout any close-up attachment.
1:1 reproduction ratio is obtained when the coarse focus handles are set to the minimum point and the fine
focus knob is set approx. 45mm down.
