Thanks for the info!!!

Well, it is out of focus, but I am buying a diopter to fix that. It's that I've used Canon FD lenses for years and I know how to read them. This Nikkor was a bit of a Rosicrucian mystery and I couldn't find anything on the Net that spelled it out for me. Thanks for answering.

I know that this is going to sound incredibly stupid, but I can't figure out how to zone focus on this lens. I've been zone focusing on Canon lenses for twenty years without a problem and now, all of a sudden, I've got problems. I got a Nikon FM2N and the fifty as a present last year and I want to use it, but it's going right by me. Are the colors of the numbers significant or am I just being incredibly obtuse here? I know the answer is going to be very simple, but I am still not getting it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I photograph people, usually musicians or people listening to musicians. I like to watch people having a good time. It doesn't matter at all to anyone except me. As for relevance, why does it have to be relevant? Relevance is greatly overrated, if you ask me.

<p>Thanks for the advice, everyone, Katy appreciates it. And she is getting the camera fixed.</p>

<p> Since I own more than one camera, I am now the official family go to guy on this sort of thing, even if I don't want to be, so please bear with me here. My cousin recently bought a Bessa R3M and its rangefinder has become slightly uncalibrated at infinity. She is also reading the photography how to books and she wants to know the following: can she use zone focusing with an uncalibrated rangefinder until she gets the thing fixed and still get a good photo? I am an SLR guy so I had to say I didn't know, but I would try and find out for her, which is why I am here. It seems to me that it should be possible; all she would have to do is cover the rangefinder window with something and know her distances, but I don't want to tell her something that isn't so. So, anyone, is what she is asking me possible or not? TIA</p>
