Focusing Screen Selector Guide
Type
1 Name/style
Features
Split-image range-
finder/microprism
system
Suitable for general photography.
Has microprism collar around the
central split-image rangefinder spot.
With PC-Nikkor or lenses having a
maximum aperature slower than f/4.5,
the split-image rangefinder or micro-
prism collar is dim. In this case, focus
on the surrounding matte area.
K2
Matte system
Works well for general photography,
close-up photography and duplication
work. Especially useful for people
who prefer to focus on the matte
focusing spot at the center of the
screen, or when it is inconvenient to
use the split-image rangefinder for
focusing, as is the case with telephoto
lenses.
B2
Horizontal and
vertical line
etched system
Extremely useful in pictorial compo
sition. Consists of Type B2 matte field
with etched horizontal and vertical
lines. Also useful with PC-Nikkor
lenses.
