MOUNTING THE LENS
To mount a lens, first push the camera's meter
coupling pin to the right
as far as it will go. Set
the lens diaphragm
at f/5 .6 and insert the lens into
th
IY bayonet mount, making sure that the coupling
pin fits into the slotted prong on the lens. Twist
the lens counterclockwise until it locks into place
with a sharp click.
I n lenses having no slotted prong, mounting
is
done at a position where its aperture indicator
a
ligns with the coupling pin of the camera.

Maximum aperture indicator
In order to measure light at full aperture with
lenses
of different maximum apertures, the
Nikomat
ELW's meter must be adjusted for the
maximum aperture
of the lens in use. This must be
done each time a lens is mounted. Turn the
aperture ring all the way to the minimum aperture
setting (largest f/number), then
all the way in the
opposite direction . This step automatically adjusts
the meter to the maximum aperture
of the lens.
