with your lens are listed below. For screens used with Nikon cameras other than F3-
and F2-series cameras (e.g., Nikon FA, FE2, FM2 and FE), refer to the column for F3-
series cameras. For the K2, B2 and E2 focusing screens, refer to the columns on the K,
B and E screens, respectively. For details, also refer to the specific focusing screen's

* Usable, but vignetting or other image deterioration may occur.
© = Excellent focusing
9 = Acceptable focusing
The split-image rangefinder, microprism or cross-hair area is dim. Focus on the sur-
rounding matte area.
0=Acceptable focusing
Slight vignetting (or moire phenomenon, in case of the microprism) affects the
screen image. The image on the film, however, shows no trace of this.
A = Acceptable focusing
The in-focus image in the central spot may prove to be slightly out of focus on
film. Focus on the surrounding matte area.
l!=Exposure measurement not possible; lens/screen combination permits only focus-
ing operation.
()= Indicates degree of exposure compensation.
Blank means not usable.
