SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION ON CAMERA

Installation

After removing the rear lens cap from the lens, align the mount positioning point on the lens

with that on the camera, and rotate the lens clockwise (counterclockwise when using Nikon

model) until you hear a click, which indicates the lens being securely locked in place.

There is no mount-positioning index marking on the lens to fit Nikon. Please align the

aperture/zoom index line on the lens with the mount-positioning index point on the camera

(same as AF Nikkor lenses) accordingly.

Detaching

While pressing the lens release button on the camera, turn the lens counterclockwise

(clockwise when using Nikon model.)

* Be careful not to touch the signal terminals of the lens during installation or removal. A

stained or damaged terminal may cause poor contact and malfunction.

FOCUSING [1]

Automatic Focusing

When the camera is used in the auto focus mode, the lens focuses automatically. During the

AF (Auto Focus) operation, the focusing ring will rotate and its movement should not be

hindered. For this reason, we recommend using the focusing ring cover. To use, pull it out to

its fullest extent.

Manual Focusing

Switch the camera to the manual focus mode and turn the focusing ring to focus while

looking through the viewfinder. The correct focus position is determined when the picture in

the viewfinder becomes sharp. If the focusing ring is rotated while pressing the shutter

release button halfway down, the focus indicator in the viewfinder will light up when the

subject comes in focus. In manual photography, focusing should always be checked through

the viewfinder even when shooting at infinity.

How to use the AF Range Selector (Model 60E for Minolta) [2]

When the Selector ring is turned clockwise (viewing from the mount side), the AF operation

range is set from 2.5m to the selected distance, while it is set from the selected position to

infinity when turned counter-clockwise.

Rotate the focusing ring to align the distance scale to the focus distance index line where

you would like to set a limit in AF operation range. Loosen the AF Range Selector ring fixing

screw and turn the Selector ring until it comes to a mechanical stop (please be sure to hold

the focusing ring, avoiding its simultaneous movement with the Selector ring.)

Tighten the AF Range Selector ring fixing screw after the above procedures are completed.

For your information, the AF Range Selector is set to the infinity range when shipped from

our factory.

APERTURE SETTING

With Minolta AF

The aperture is set on the camera side in accordance with the exposure mode.

With Nikon AF

When shooting on programmed AE or shutter-priority AE mode, rotate the aperture to

minimum position. For aperture-priority or manual mode, turn the aperture ring to the

desired setting. In case of F401 series models the camera side, in accordance with the

given instructions, sets the aperture.

AE (Minimum Aperture) Lock [3]

For Nikon, it is possible to fix the aperture ring to the minimum aperture when using the

program AE mode or shutter-priority AE mode. If the aperture ring is set to the minimum

aperture, and the AE lock lever is depressed, the aperture ring is fixed at the minimum

aperture position.

TRIPOD MOUNT [4]

If the tripod mount fixing screw is loosened, the lens can be turned 120° right and left from

the center position and can be fixed at any position in between. If the circular mark of the

tripod mount ring is adjusted to the circular mark on the side of the lens, it will be 90° from

the center.

FILTER

The filter is the rear insertion type. The filter frame can be inserted in the cutout just behind

the tripod mount and at the time of shipment from the factory, a 43mm normal filter is placed

in the filter frame. With a rear filter inserted, the flange back dimensions (standard

dimension from the abutting joint surface of the mount to the film surface) is set, so a rear

filter must always be in place when photographing. To protect the front lens, it is

recommended to always install the 112mm normal filter (sold separately.)

Filter Fitting Method [5]

To install the rear filter, pull out the filter frame from the main body, change the filter (remove

the normal filter and install the desired filter), and then insert it so that the TAMRON logo of

the filter frame will be at the correct position. Please note if the filter is inserted upside down,

the aperture blades will fail.

CHECKING DEPTH-OF-FIELD [6]

The lens has a depth-of-field scale when the aperture is F32 and F16, and an approximate

depth of field can be known. For depth of field at each aperture and photographing range,

you can check it out on our website. http://www.tamron.com

LENS HOOD

A slip-on type lens hood comes with the lens. Since the lens hood is effective for eliminating

harmful 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 a normal way, and then read the range scale and shift to the infrared index.

Then install the red filter 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 manual 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.

3. Fungus is an enemy of your lens. Clean the lens after shooting at seaside or in a humid

place. Store your lens in a clean, cool and dry place. If you find fungus on your lens, please

consult a repair shop or nearby photographic store.

4. Do not touch the lens' camera-interface contact since dust, dirt, and/or stains may cause

a contact failure between the lens and camera.

5. When using your equipment [camera(s) and/or lens(es)] in an environment where the

temperature changes from one extreme to another, make sure to put your equipment

temporarily in a case or a plastic bag for some duration in order for them to go through a

gradual temperature shift. This will reduce potential trouble of your equipment.
