Pentax SMC -FA manual Screw-in Type Filters, Precaution on filters

Notes :

Be sure that the PL filter window cap is in place if no polarizing filter or circular polar- izing filter is used.

If strong light is entering the PL filter win- dow, either attach the PL filter window cap or reverse the position of the PL filter win- dow (to top or bottom of lens). Strong light entering the PL filter window will defeat the effect of the lens hood and prevent the tak- ing of clear, sharp images.

When the Pentax circular polarizing filter 58mm, which has the knurl ring on the back is used with the FA Zoom24-90mm f/3.5-4.5AL (IF) or FA Zoom 28-105mm f/3.2-4.5AL (IF) lens, the special lens hood cannot be attached. When a non-Pentax circular polarizing filter is attached, it also may not be attached.

FILTERS

Screw-in Type Filters

This type of filter screws into the front of the lens. Make sure to use the proper size Pentax filter specially designed for your lens.

Precaution on filters

Attaching the filter to your lens becomes a part of the optic.

Avoid using no more than one filter exception of with a polarizing filter, as deterioration in image quality may results.

Attach the 43mm filters supplied with fol- lowing lenses to the filter holder in the rear of lens.

FA300mm f/2.8ED (IF) FA600mm f/4ED (IF)

FA250-600mm f/5.6ED (IF)
