The aperture and preset rings of the PC-Nikkor enable

focusing at full aperture for the brightest viewfinder

image, with rapid setting of the diaphragm to the pre

set shooting aperture. Having set the preset ring to the

desired aperture setting, focus as follows: Turn the

aperture ring to the f/2.8 setting to open the diaphragm
fully for focusing (photo 1); then turn the focusing

ring until the image on the focusing screen is in sharp

focus (photo 2). Before releasing the shutter, turn the

aperture ring until It contacts the preset ring and can

no longer be turned—the diaphragm is now at the pre

set shooting aperture (photo 3).

Note: The Type E2 focusing screen is highly recommended

for use with FA/FE2/FM3 Nikon cameras and the Type E for
use with F/F2/F3/FE Nikon cameras. The vertical and hori

zontal lines etched on the screen help you to properly align
the camera for proper perspective correction of the image.
