•How to mount the lens

Removing the rear cap of the lens, align the lens attachment mark on the lens barrel with its counterpart on the lens mount of the camera and insert the lens mount into the camera’s mount opening. Rotate the lens clockwise until it click-locks. For Nikon models, align the lens attachment mark with the dot on the camera and rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it click-locks.

•How to detach the lens

Pressing the lens release button of the camera down, turn the lens counter-clockwise (clockwise in case on Nikon), and lift the lens off the camera’s lens mount.

FOCUSING (Autofocus) (Ref. Figs. 1, 2 & 5)

In case of Nikon or Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (13) on the lens to AF (Fig. 5). In case of Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial, set the focus mode to S or C, and then set the AF/MF switch (13) on the lens to AF. Press the shutter button halfway down while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder, the lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will light when lens focuses on the main subject sharply. Press the shutter button further to photograph.

In case of a Sony camera, switch the AF/MF switch (13) on the lens to AF (Fig. 5), and set the focus mode on the camera to Auto Focus (AF). Press the shutter button halfway down while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder, the lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will light when lens focuses on the main subject sharply. Press the shutter button further to photograph.

•When set on AF mode, interfering with the focusing ring (6) may cause serious damage to the lens mechanism.

•The distance scale (7) is marked for guidance purposes. The actual focal point may slightly differ from the distance marked on the focal length index.

*For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

FOCUSING (Manual Focus) (Ref. Fig. 1, 2 & 6)

In case of Nikon or Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (13) on the lens to MF (Fig. 6). In case of Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial, set the focus mode to M, and then set the AF/MF switch (13) on the lens to MF.

The Tamron AFB008C700, AFB008S700, and AFB008N700 lenses represent an evolution in optical technology, providing photographers with remarkable versatility and high-quality performance. Designed for varying camera systems, these lenses cater to Canon, Sony, and Nikon mounts, respectively, and offer a powerful solution for a variety of shooting situations.

The versatility of the zoom range makes them perfect for everyday photography, travel, and events, where changing lenses frequently can be impractical.

This feature is particularly beneficial in low-light conditions or when capturing moving subjects, as it reduces the risk of motion blur.

Moreover, the lenses utilize a fast and precise autofocus system. This hybrid autofocus mechanism ensures quick acquisition of focus, even in dynamic scenes. Photographers can trust the responsiveness of the lenses, making them ideal for capturing spontaneous moments without delay.

The build quality is also commendable, with a robust design that ensures durability in diverse environments. The use of moisture-resistant materials provides added peace of mind for outdoor photography, allowing users to shoot in light rain or humid conditions without fear of damaging the lens.

Furthermore, the Tamron AFB008 series lenses are compatible with various camera features, including in-camera stabilization and focus tracking, enriching the user experience and expanding creative possibilities.

In summary, the Tamron AFB008C700, AFB008S700, and AFB008N700 lenses combine advanced technology with practical versatility, making them ideal tools for photographers who demand excellence in their craft.
