*Stowing the lens hood

You can reverse and attach the lens hood when it is stowed.

1.Reverse the hood and align the hood attachment mark "TAMRON O" with the hood attaching alignment mark on the lens and mount it.

2.Rotate the hood clockwise, the hood is difficult to pull off towards the front (because of the construction, the hood will not be fixed when attached backwards.)

*The hood for the A08 does not lock when it is reversed due to constructional configuration. When carrying the lens, be sure to hold the lens firmly. If you carry it by the hood portion only, the hood may come off the lens causing it to fall. Do not do this as it may cause bodily harm or substantial damage to the lens.
