Nikon F / F2 Focusing Screen – Type A
Share
The Nikon Type A Focusing Screen is a classic split-image/microprism collar screen designed for accurate manual focusing, especially when working with fast prime lenses or shooting in lower light conditions. This screen features a matte field with a central split-image rangefinder surrounded by a microprism ring—ideal for subjects where precision focusing at the center of the frame is critical.
Originally designed for the Nikon F and F2 series cameras, this screen is a drop-in replacement that allows users to customize their viewing and focusing experience to best match their shooting style. Whether you’re using a 50mm lens wide open or manually focusing a telephoto, the Type A screen gives you that familiar, tactile SLR experience that’s become a hallmark of the Nikon pro lineup.
Condition: Excellent
This screen is in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of use. It comes in its original Nikon plastic case and box, making it an ideal pickup for collectors or shooters looking to complete their Nikon F or F2 kit. The focusing surface is clean and clear, with no marks, haze, or scratches.
