BEFORE USING THE LENS

(Read the following carefully to get the most out of your new lens now and in the many years to come.)

You now own one of the lightest and most compact zoom lenses in the most-used focal lengths for maximum versatility in everyday picture taking. Your new Zoom- Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 is versatile, easy-to-operate, compact and high per- formance. It gives you a choice of focal lengths from a wideangle 35mm to a moderate telephoto 70mm. And you can move right up to smaller subjects with the built-in macro focusing at any focal length. Use it for regular snapshots, souvenir photos, portraits and close-up photography.

Zooming and focusing are accomplished through two independent rings so once you have focused on your subject you can frame it with the zoom without losing sharpness. The minimum focusing distance is normally 0.5m (2 ft), but you can get continuous focusing all the way down to 0.35m (1 ft) through the equipped macro function. The maximum reproduction ratio is 1:4.4. For even greater magnification,'just add an optional Nikon close-up lens. For special effects, the front attachment size of 52mm makes the maximum number of optional filters available to you.

Constructed of the highest quality Nikon glass, this zoom lens produces sharp images with high contrast from the shortest to the longest focal length with all abberations well corrected. In addition, Nikon Integrated Coating (NIC) is applied to all air-to-glass surfaces of the lens elements to minimize ghost images and flare and produce photographs with natural color rendition.

The lens offers "automatic maximum aperture indexing" (Al) with suitably equipped cameras, via the meter coupling ridge provided (except F-401 /N4004*). The meter coupling ridge and automatic diaphragm function together to permit full aperture exposure measurement. For non-AI type Nikon cameras, this lens is also fitted with a meter coupling shoe to permit the same operation.

•The Nikon N4004 is sold exclusively in the U.S.A.
