About PC Nikkors coupling to meter , it was " stop-down metering " I was referring to.
For those who are n`t familiar with PC Nikkors:
Those are used to Restore Converging lines, get things out of the way ( to a degree ), allowing for a Wider angle without moving the camera when mounted on Tripod ,And Many More pixels when images are taken as follows :
1 pic.) Shifted to Left upper corner
2 pic.) shifted Right upper corner
3 pic.) shifted left Lower corner
4 pic.) shifted Right Lower corner
Stitched together in post processing will yield an image quality that most Medium format camera`s can n`t achieve.
Metering in " stop down " mode ...
With Camera set to S ,the Shutter will Expose according to selected Closed Down Aperture .
As PC Nikkors have Two Aperture rings, One to pre-select aperture ,yet aperture stays wide open, so as to have a bright view ,and the other ring to Close Down aperture to that pre-selected aperture to make the Exposure.
Set to M it`s all manual, with meter indicator showing in the viewfinder , Neither function is supported by the SlrN , as it will Only meter with cpu lenses.
Correct metering will Only be , when " shift " movements of PC Nikkors have NOT been applied !!
There is an adjustment knob , calibrated in millimeters ,to Shift the lens , and the lens can be rotated , enabling Shift in Any direction .
And YES !!...the PC-E Nikkor 24mm is a Lovely Lens , with " Shift " and " Tilt " movements , it`s the First item on my bucket list.
