FOREWORD
The
Zoom-Nikkor
80-200mm
f/4
is
a
newly
designed
and
improved
version
of
the
80-200mm
f/4.5
zoom
lens.
It
offers
a
larger
maximum
aperture
and
a
closer
minimum
focusing
distance
of
1.2m
(4
ft)
compared
to
the
older
lens
model.
The
lens
has
an
optical
construction
of
13
elements
in
9
groups
and
an
attachment
size
of
62mm.
For
faster,
more
convenient
handling,
the
same
ring
is
used
to
focus
and
zoom.
You
turn
the
ring
to
focus,
and
you
push
or
pull
to
zoom
in
or
out.
And
because
the
lens
has
a
higher
speed,
making
the
image
in
the
viewfinder
brighter,
focusing
is
easier.
Image
quality
is
up,
too.
Aberrations
are
well
corrected,
especially
in
the
shorter
focal
length
range.
The
result
is
optimum
performance,
from
the
shortest
to
the
longest
focal
length—crisp
images
with
high
contrast,
far
or
near.
Nikon
Integrated
Coating
(NIC),
applied
on
all
air-to-glass
surfaces
to
minimize
ghost
and
flare,
makes
for
natural
color
rendition.
The
lens
offers
“automat
ic
maximum
aperture
indexing”
(Al)
with
suitably
equipped
Nikon
cameras
(except
F-401/N4004*)
via
the
meter
coupling
ridge
provided.
The
ridge
and
the
auto
diaphragm
function
together
to
permit
full-aperture
exposure
meas
urement.
To
allow
similar
operation
with
non-AI
type
Nikon
cameras,
the
lens
is
also
fitted
with
a
meter
coupling
shoe.
Additionally,
there's
a
depth-of-field
scale
with
curved
lines
which
you
can
use
to
obtain
a
depth-of-field
reading
at any focal length.
*The Nikon N4004 is sold exclusively in the U.S.A.
MOUNTING THE LENS--------------------------------------------------------------
Position
the
lens
in
the
camera’s
bayonet
mount,
lining
up
the
aperture
index
on
the
lens
with
the
lens
mounting
index
on
the
camera.
Twist
the
lens counterclockwise until it clicks into place.
To
remove,
depress
the
lens
release
button
on
the
camera
and
twist
the
lens
clockwise.
Notes:
1) When mounting the lens on a camera with afift-up meter coupling lever (Al type), make
sure that the camera's meter coupling lever is correctly positioned; when mounting on
a camera without this lever (non-Al type), "manual" maximum aperture indexing is re
quired. in both cases, refer to the camera's instruction manual.
2) When the lens is used with the Nikon F-401/N4004, the camera meter coupling func
tion does not operate and the exposure indicator LEDs do not appear.
