Description
This part replaces the characteristic aperture coupling prong, better known as "rabbit ears," on early Nikon Nikkor lenses (Pre-AI / Non-AI). It establishes the mechanical connection to the exposure meter pin on classic cameras like the Nikon F (Photomic), F2 (Photomic), or the Nikkormat series. The part is purely functional for exposure metering and ensures that your vintage camera correctly recognizes the set aperture again.
