AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Nikon PK-3 accessory is a 27.5 mm original Japanese extension tube, designed specifically to increase the extension of Nikon F-mount lenses and drastically reduce their minimum focusing distance, thus allowing you to enter the world of macro photography with extreme ease.
It's the ideal tool to pair with Micro-Nikkor 55mm lenses (especially the pre-AI f/3.5 versions), as it allows you to achieve 1:1 magnification at life size, transforming a good reproduction lens into a true macro lens. Although it is native to the pre-AI system (recognizable by the movable coupling fork), it can be mounted on various Nikon bodies and lenses, keeping in mind that on digital or modern bodies its use will be fully manual for both focusing and exposure.
built entirely of metal with the era’s proverbial Nikon ruggedness, the ring preserves the diaphragm’s automatic operation (that is, it allows composing at full aperture and closing the diaphragm to the set value only at the moment of exposure), a fundamental feature to maintain brightness in the viewfinder during critical focusing. The aesthetic condition visible in the photos is very good, with minimal signs on the outer barrel and the steel bayonets clean and free of oxidation.
