FIL TERS

Nikkor lenses and Nikon filters are compatible with each other, Therefore, for best results, use Nikon filters, which are made of optical glass, ground and polished so that both surfaces are optically flat and parallel. They are available in both screw-in and series mounts, depending on the lens .

No exposure compensation for filters is necessary with the Nikomat ELW, except the R-60, which is used for infrared photography. The built-in ex- posure meter reads only the light passing through the lens and therefore compensates for the loss of light.

If you want to use a filter to protect the front of your lens without any overt effect on your pic- tures, use the L-3 7 UV haze filter.
