EE Aperture Control Attachment DS-12
Specially designed for operation with the Nikon F2AS
Photomic camera and Al-type Nikkor lenses, the EE Aperture Control Attachment DS-l 2 brings the F2 user the convenience of automatic aperture control. With the DS-12, the photographer is free to concentrate fully on the subject while the attachment’s built-in servo mechanism is automatically adjusting the aperture setting as necessary for perfectly exposed photographs under even changing lighting conditions.
Power for DS-12 operation is via any of three optional power sources.
Lens Hoods
The use of a lens hood is recommended at all times to prevent extraneous light from striking the lens surface and causing flare or ghost, and to protect the lens against damage. Nikon lens hoods come in four types, depending on the lens: screwin, snap-on, slip-in and built-in. They are calculated precisely for each focal-length Nikkor lens to provide maximum protection against stray light.
To attach or remove the snap-on hood, first depress the spring latch—which is marked with an arrow—and slide it in the direction of the arrow. The hood will also fit directly over a screw-in filter, so both can be used on a lens at the same time.
When not in use, the snap-on hood can be reversed for storage on the lens, and the lens and its hood can be stored together in the ever-ready case.
Filters
Nikon filters are made of optical glass, ground and polished so that both surfaces are optically flat and parallel. Nikkor lenses and Nikon filters are made for each other. For best results, use Nikon filters on Nikkor lenses. The filters are available in both screw-in and series mounts, depending on the lens.
Except for the R60, no Nikon filter requires exposure compensation when used with the Nikon F2AS Photomic. When using the R60 filter under tungsten light, increase the exposure by one f-stop more than indicated by the exposure meter.
Note: If you wish to leave a filter on the lens to protect the lens against accidental damage, the use of the L37 or L37C filter is recommended.
Finder Eyecup
The soft rubber finder eyecup screws directly onto the finder eyepiece to prevent extraneous light from entering the viewfinder.
When using an eyepiece correction lens with a finder eyecup, it is recommended to use the Nikkormat type eyecup. First, fit the lens into the eyecup in advance. Then screw the assembly onto the finder eyepiece.
Eyepiece Correction Lenses
The nine eyepiece correction lenses are designed to permit nearsighted and farsighted users to view and focus without their glasses. Available in—2, - 3, - 4,—S. 0, +0.5, +1, +2 and
+3 diopters, each representing the combined dioptry of the lens and the finder. Simply screw into the finder eyepiece.
Camera Cases
Available in hard, semi-soft or soft (pouch) construction, Nikon camera cases offer excellent protection for your camera body and mounted lens. Various case sizes are available to accommodate most Nikkor lenses mounted on the camera body.
