Filter

This lens has four filters, which can be changed where appropriate. Make sure to have one of the filters set when shooting, since the filter is part of the optical system.

NORMAL: This is for general use. Use this filter, unless filter effects are desired.

O56: This is effective for use in shooting distant landscapes with enhanced contrast, when monochrome shooting or using a black and white film.

A12*: This is for use in shooting under the sunlight with a tungsten film. It prevents pictures from becoming blue, and maintains accurate color rendition.

B12*: This is for use in shooting under tungsten lighting with a daylight-color film. It prevents pictures from becoming red, and maintains accurate color rendition.

*No setting required when using a digital single lens reflex camera. Adjust white balance on the camera, when color temperature needs adjusting.

To change filters

Pull the filter-changing ring towards the camera, rotate it, and set the desired filter setting on the filter index.

Note

Rotate the filter-changing ring until it clicks into place. If it is not set properly, a red line appears between the lens hood and filter-changing ring as a warning.

Exposure compensation

When using a filter other than NORMAL, the amount of light reaching the image sensor (or the film) decreases. This is automatically compensated for in all auto- exposure modes, or in the manual exposure mode, providing that the exposure is adjusted according to the camera’s meter index. When shooting in manual mode using a hand-held exposure meter, increase exposure.

*1

The value for equivalent 35mm-format focal length is based on Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor.

 

*2

The value of angle of view 1 is based on 35mm-format cameras, and that of angle of view 2 is based on Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized

 

image sensor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*3

Minimum focus is the shortest distance from the image sensor to the subject.

 

 

 

 

 

Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infinity. Included items: Lens (1), Front lens cap (1), Rear lens cap (1), Set of printed documentation
