Fokussierung

1. Autofokus (AF):

   Set the focus mode switch on the lens to "A" (Autofocus). Ensure your camera body is also set to an autofocus mode. The lens will automatically focus when the camera's shutter release button is pressed halfway.

2. Manueller Fokus (M):

   Set the focus mode switch on the lens to "M" (Manual). Rotate the focus ring to achieve sharp focus. This mode is often preferred for precise macro photography.

3. Focus Limit Switch:

   The lens features a "LIMIT - FULL" switch. In "FULL" mode, the lens focuses across its entire range. In "LIMIT" mode, the lens restricts its focus range, which can speed up autofocus when shooting subjects that are not extremely close.

Blendensteuerung

The 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor lens has an aperture ring. For cameras that support it, you can set the aperture directly on the lens. For modern Nikon DSLRs, it is generally recommended to set the aperture ring to its minimum aperture (f/32) and control the aperture via the camera body's command dial. Consult your camera's manual for specific instructions on aperture control with D-type lenses.

Makrofotografie

This lens is designed for macro photography, offering a 1:2 reproduction ratio. For true 1:1 macro, an extension tube or teleconverter may be required. When shooting macro, consider the following:

• Schärfentiefe: At close focusing distances, the depth of field becomes very shallow. Use smaller apertures (higher f-numbers) to increase depth of field.
• Stabilität: A tripod is highly recommended for macro photography to minimize camera shake and ensure precise focusing.
• Beleuchtung: Adequate and even lighting is crucial for macro subjects. Consider using a ring flash or other dedicated macro lighting solutions.

Wartung und Pflege

• Reinigung der Linse:

  Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a lens brush to remove dust. For smudges or fingerprints, use a specialized lens cleaning solution and a clean microfiber cloth. Apply solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens element.
• Lagerung:

  When not in use, always attach the front and rear lens caps. Store the lens in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, a dehumidified environment is ideal to prevent mold growth.

• Handhabung:

  Avoid dropping or subjecting the lens to strong impacts. Do not force any moving parts. Keep the lens away from water and excessive moisture.
