LENS HOOD

A slip-on type lens hood comes with the lens. Since the lens hood is effective for eliminating harm ful rays, we recommend using it when photographing. When storing, the lens hood should be put over the lens in reverse.

The lens hood is provided with two opposing lock screws. When using the hood, loosen the screw attach the lens body to the hood, and then tighten the lock screws.

INFRARED INDEX

When black & white infrared film is used, a red filter should also be used. The nature of red filters requires focus correction. The red scale R mark in the range scale is the infrared index. Focus in normal way, and then read the range scale and shift to the infrared index. Then install the red filte and photograph. To make any focusing corrections, switch the focus mode to manual and turn the focusing ring.

CAUTION

To the customers who use a camera with an incorporated strobe:

For flash photographs, please use an externally installed strobe. If the built-in strobe is used for flash photography, the lens will interrupt the light path of the strobe and semicircular shading will appear at the bottom of the picture. Also, see the "Built-in Strobe" section in the instruction manu al of your camera.

TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION

1.Avoid touching the lens surface. Use a photographic brush or blower to remove dust from the lens surface. When not using the lens, put a cap on for protection.

2.Use a lens cleaning tissue or lint cloth with a drop of cleaning solution to clean fingerprints or dirt on the lens surface with a rotary motion from the center to edge. Use a silicon cloth to clean your lens barrel.
