Stowing lens hood on the lens (Ref. Fig. 9)

1.Reverse the lens hood. Point the lens toward the opening, then align the hood attach- ment mark on the lens with the (TAMRON O) alignment on the hood (3).

2.Turn the hood clockwise until its alignment mark is at the top to set it. (Fig. 9, 2)

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING

The optical design for Di-II takes into consideration the various features of digital sin- gle reflex cameras. However, due to the configuration of the digital SLR cameras, even when the Autofocus accuracy is within specifications, the focal point may be a little forward or behind the optimum point when shooting with auto focus under some conditions.

The image circles of Di-II lenses are designed to match the digital SLR cameras using the image sensors equivalent to APS-C (approx. 15.5 x 23.2mm). Do not use Di-II lenses with such cameras may cause vignetting on the image.

A13 employs an internal focusing (IF) system. Because of the characteristics of this optical design, the angles of view at distances other than infinity are wider than that of the lenses applying an ordinary focusing system.

When the built-in flash on the camera is used, adverse photographic phenomena such as corner illumination, fall-off, or vignetting at the bottom part of the image may be observed, especially with wide angle ranges. This is due to the inherent limitation of the coverage of the built-in flash, and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge of the lens barrel which causes shadows on the image. It is strongly recommended to use a suitable separate flash unit provided by the camera manufacturer for all flash photography.

When using the lens in the telephoto focal range, please be careful with the camera shake. Effective way to avoid the camera shake is using an ISO setting of higher numbers. Using a tripod or monopod is also effective.

When set on AF mode, interfering with the focusing ring may cause serious damage to the lens mechanism.

Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values of the lenses appropriate numbers. This is inherent to the design of the camera and not an indication of error.

When using a special filter such as a PL filter on the A16, use low-profile filters. The thick rim of a normal filter may cause vignetting.

AF016NII700, AF016M700, AF016C700 specifications

The Tamron AF016C700, AF016M700, and AF016NII700 are part of the renowned SP (Super Performance) series of lenses, designed to cater to both amateur and professional photographers. These lenses are particularly well-regarded for their versatility and exceptional optical quality, making them popular choices for various photography genres, including portrait, landscape, and macro photography.

One of the key features of the Tamron AF016 lenses is their fast and silent autofocus system. Utilizing a combination of an advanced autofocus motor and specialized software, these lenses provide quick and accurate focusing. This technology ensures that photographers can capture fleeting moments without missing an opportunity, particularly useful in dynamic situations such as wildlife or sports photography.

The optical design of the AF016 series incorporates multiple low-dispersion glass elements, which effectively minimize chromatic aberration and improve overall image sharpness. The lenses also boast a multi-layer coating that reduces ghosting and flare, resulting in high-contrast images with vivid colors. This makes them ideal for shooting in bright conditions or against challenging light sources.

The Tamron AF016NII700, in particular, introduces updated features that enhance usability. It boasts a moisture-resistant construction, which is essential for outdoor photographers who often work in varying weather conditions. This feature allows for peace of mind when capturing images in light rain or humid environments.

Another notable characteristic is the built-in image stabilization technology featured in these lenses. It allows for smoother handheld shooting, especially in low-light conditions or when using slower shutter speeds. This makes it easier to achieve crisp images without introducing motion blur, a critical advantage for both professional and hobbyist photographers.

The AF016 series also emphasizes user comfort with ergonomic designs that facilitate extended shooting sessions. The emphasis on a lightweight construction ensures that photographers can carry these lenses for long periods without fatigue, addressing a common concern among those who travel frequently.

In conclusion, the Tamron AF016C700, AF016M700, and AF016NII700 are exceptional lenses that combine advanced optical technology, effective stabilization features, and ergonomic design. They cater to a diverse range of photographic needs while maintaining high standards of quality and performance. Photographers looking for a reliable and versatile lens solution will find the AF016 series an excellent addition to their gear.
