- A C C E S S O RIE S - c o n t i n u e d Close-up equipment The following are some of the accessories you can use for close-up photography. 1) Close-Up Lenses No. 0, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3T, No. 4T, No. 5T, NO. 6T. Since these lenses are attached to the front of the lens in use, metering can still be done at full aperture. 2) Auto Extension Rings PK-llA, 12 and 13. 3) Bellows Focusing Attachment PB-6. The Auto Extension Rings and the PB-6 are attached between the lens and camera body. If one of the rings is used with an AI lens, exposure determination is at full aperture because the exposure meter is linked to the automatic diaphragm of the lens. As for the PB-6, stop-down exposure measurement is necessary because the exposure meter is not linked with the automatic diaphragm of the lens. You can change magnifications continuously by extending the bellows. Note, too, that it is possible to use a close-up lens, ring and the PB-6 all at the same time. 4) Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8, Micro-Nikkor 105mm fl2.8, MicroNikkor 200mm fl4, AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 0 , AF MicroNikkor 105mm f/2.8 0 and AF Micro-Nikkor ED 200mm f/4 0 IF lenses. These specially designed lenses for close-up photography offer continuous focusing from infinity down to 1/2 (Micro-Nikkor lenses) or 1/ 1 lifesize (AF Micro-Nikkor lenses). The closest focused distance of the lenses are 0.25m (0.82 ft.) , 0.23m (0.75 ft.), 0.41m (1.34 ft .), 0.219m (0.719 ft.), 0.314m (1.03 ft.) and 0.5m (1.64 ft.) , respectively. Note that in close-up photography, the depth of field is generally shallow. Thus, you should stop down as much as possible in photographing a subject with very little depth. Also, it is advisable to use the Type K2's matte outer field for focusing (or to change focusing screens) because it is no easy to focus with the split-Image or microprism ring. 38 Note: Non-AI extension rings such as the PK-I, 2, 3, PN-I , etc. cannot be attached to the FM2.

The
following are some of
the
accessories
you
can
use
for
close-up photography.
1)

Since these lenses are attached
to
the
front
of
the
lens
in
use,
metering can still
be
done
at
full aperture.
2)
Auto
Extension
Rings
PK-llA,
12
and
13.
3)
Bellows Focusing Attachment
PB
-6
.
The
Auto Extension
Rings
and
the
PB-6
are attached between
the lens
and
camera
body.
If
one
of
the
rings
is
used
with
an
AI
lens,
exposure determination
is
at
full aperture because
the exposure meter
is
linked
to
the automatic diaphragm
of
the
lens
.
As
for the
PB-6
, stop-down exposure measurement
is
necessary because the exposure meter
is
not
linked with
the automatic diaphragm
of
the
lens.
You
can
change magni-
fications continuously
by
extending
the
bellows.
Note, too, that it
is
possible
to
use
a close-up
lens,
ring
and
the
PB
-6
all
at
the
same time.

lenses.
These
specially designed
lenses
for close-up pho-
tography offer continuous focusing from infinity down
to
1/2
(Micro-Nikkor
lenses)
or
1/ 1
lifesize
(AF
Micro-Nikkor
lenses).
The
closest focused distance of the
lenses
are
0.25m
(0.82
ft.)
, 0.23m (0.75
ft.),
0.41m (1.34

0.219m (0.719
ft.),
0.314m (1.03
ft.)
and
0.5m (1.64
ft.)
,
respectively.
Note
that
in
close-up
photography
,
the
depth
of
field
is
generally
shallow.
Thus
,
you
should
stop
down
as
much
as
possible
in
photographing
a
subject
with
very
little
depth
.
Also
,
it
is
advisable
to
use
the
Type
K2's
matte
outer
field
for
focusing
(o
r
to
change
focusing
screens)
because
it
is
no
easy
to
focus
with
the
split
-
Image
or
microprism
ring.

Non-AI extension rings such
as
the
PK

3,
PN
-I , etc. cannot be
attached to the FM2.
