FOREWORD
With a twist of its zooming ring, the Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 offers you a
choice of the most widely used focal lengths from 35mm wideangle through
50mm normal, to 70mm moderate telephoto with everything in between. In
addition, at the 70mm focal length setting a special macro focusing button
allows you to shoot macro photography down to 0.35m (1.2 ft) camera-to-
subject distance. At this distance, the subject is pictured 1/4X life size.
Contributing to its compact design, the front attachment size was reduced to
62mm—appreciably smaller than the 72mm size usually found on other Nikon
wideangle zoom lenses. In addition, it has independent focusing and zooming
rings, allowing rapid changes of focal length without affecting the focusing.
With an innovative optical design of 10 elements in 9 groups, the Zoom-Nikkor
35-70mm delivers sharp images with virtually no distortion. Moreover, Nikon
Integrated Coating (NIC) was applied to the air-to-giass surfaces of lens elements
to minimize ghost images and flare while insuring better contrast and color
rendition.
Actually four functions in one (wideangle, normal, telephoto and macro), the
Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 is perfect for snapshots, travel and wedding photog­
raphy, portraits, and macro photography.
The lens couples fully to both the full-aperture metering systems and automatic
diaphragm mechanisms of all Nikon and Nikkormat cameras.
MOUNTING---------------------------------------------------------------- A
Align the aperture index of the lens with the mounting index of the camera: then
position the lens in the camera’s bayonet mount. Twist the lens counterclockwise
until it clicks into place.
When mounting the lens on a camera with a 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-AI type), ‘‘manual" maximum aper­
ture indexing is required, In both cases, refer to the camera’s instruction manual.
