LENS CARE

Although you should always keep the lens surfaces clean, rough cleaning must be avoided. Wipe with a soft, clean cotton cloth moistened with alcohol to remove grease or fingerprints from the lens surfaces.

If you use ether in cleaning the lens, a smudge sometimes appears on the surface of a multi-coated lens. If this happens, wipe it again with a cotton cloth moistened with alcohol.

Keep the lens cap in place whenever the lens is not in use.

Attach both the front and rear caps when the lens is stored separately.

To ensure proper fit of the lens when stored in the leather lens case, set the lens' focusing ring to the infinity (°°) setting.
