ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE LENS

*How to mount the lens

Remove the rear lens cap and align the lens attachment mark on the lens barrel

with its counterpart on the camera mount and insert lens. Rotate the lens clock-

wise until it click-locks. For Nikon model, align the lens attachment mark on the

camera and the aperture index on the lens to attach the lens.

*How to detach the lens

Pressing the lens release button on the camera down, turn the lens counter-

clockwise (in case of Nikon lens, clockwise), and lift the lens off the camera's lens

mount.

FOCUSING (AUTOFOCUS)

Switch the camera to the autofocus mode (AF). Press the shutter button lightly

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, be very careful not to hinder the autofocusing move-

ments of the lens. Such interference may cause serious damage to the lens

mechanism.

*Select between the autofocus and manual focus modes by using the AF/MF

switch on the camera body when using a Nikon or Minolta lens.The lens for

Canon camera has an AF-MF switch on the lens barrel.

FOCUSING (MANUAL FOCUS)

Switch the camera to manual focusing mode (MF) in case of a Nikon or Minolta.

In case of Canon, switch to MF by using AF-MF switch on the lens barrel. Focus

by manually rotating the focusing ring while viewing through the camera's

viewfinder.The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp when the lens is

focused correctly.

*Press the shutter button lightly while operating the lens for focusing.The

focus aid mark in the viewfinder will light up when the subject is in critical

focus.

* At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp.The infinity

position on the lens is made with certain allowances to insure proper focus

under a variety of conditions.

LENS APERTURE AND AE MODE

*Setting lens f-numbers with Canon and Minolta cameras

Set the f-number with the aperture setting device of the camera body in accor-

dance with the selected photographing mode.

* Setting lens f-numbers with Nikon

Depending on the photography mode, it is possible to set the aperture on

either the lens aperture ring or on the camera body, or both.

* Setting aperture on the lens aperture ring

Move the lens aperture ring from the smallest aperture, and align it with the

mark for the desired aperture.

* Setting the aperture on the camera

Move the lens aperture ring from the smallest aperture, and set the desired

aperture on the camera.

FILTER EFFECT CONTROL (FEC) ADAPTER

The FEC adapter has been made standard equipment for the A08 and allows a

filter to rotate while the hood is attached. By rotating the FEC ring, the filter

attached, such as a PL filter, can be adjusted.

* The FEC adapter can be attached using the filter screw on the lens. Please note

that forcing the screw or tightening too far may strip the threads making it

impossible to remove the adapter.

*Firmly tighten the FEC adapter when attaching it. If it is not firmly tightened,

then it may come off when attaching or removing the hood.

*Attaching and Removing the FEC Adapter

Attaching

1. Screw the FEC adapter to the hood filter ring in the same way as the filter

2. Rotate the FEC adapter clockwise

3. The FEC adapter attaches to the lens.

Removing

1. Turn the FEC adapter counterclockwise

2. The FEC adapter comes away from the lens

LENS HOOD

*Attaching the lens hood when the FEC is not attached

1. Align the attaching mark on the hood and the hood attaching mark on the

lens, then mount the hood evenly.

2. Turn the hood (approx 90 deg.) until the hood attachment mark "TAMRON

O" and the hood attachment mark on the lens lines up and you hear a click

when the hood is fixed.

* Removing when the FEC adapter is not attached

1. Firmly turn the hood in a counterclockwise direction until you hear a click

to release it.

2. Then turn the hood attaching alignment to remove it.

* Attaching the lens hood when the FEC adapter is attached

1. Hold the FEC ring firmly with one hand so it does not turn.

2. Line up the hood attaching alignment mark on the hood and the hood

attachment mark on the FEC, then mount the hood evenly.

3. Turn the hood until the hood attachment mark "TAMRON O" and the hood

attaching alignment mark on the FEC lines up and you hear a click when the

hood is fixed.

* Removing the lens hood when the FEC adapter is attached

1. Hold the FEC ring firmly with one hand so that it does not turn.

2. Firmly turn the hood in a counterclockwise direction until you hear a click

to release it.

3. Then turn the hood to remove it.

* Stowing the lens hood

You can reverse and attach the lens hood when it is stowed.

1. Reverse the hood and align the hood attachment mark "TAMRON O" with

the hood attaching alignment mark on the lens and mount it.

2. Rotate the hood clockwise, the hood is difficult to pull off towards the front

(because of the construction, the hood will not be fixed when attached

backwards.)

* The hood for the A08 does not lock when it is reversed due to constructional

configuration.When carrying the lens, be sure to hold the lens firmly. If you carry

it by the hood portion only, the hood may come off the lens causing it to fall. Do

not do this as it may cause bodily harm or substantial damage to the lens.

ZOOMING

Rotate the zoom ring of the lens while viewing through the camera's viewfinder

and compose your image at the chosen focal length.

ZOOM LOCK SWITCH

Model A08 is equipped with a zoom lock mechanism that prevents the lens bar-

rel from extending towards a longer focal length.This mechanism locks the

zoom ring in the 200mm position to prevent the lens from extending while

hanging.

1. Locking: Set the zoom ring on the lens to the 200mm position. Move the

zoom lock switch toward the camera. The lens barrel is locked in position when

the portion beneath "Lock" is red.

2. Releasing: Push the zoom lock switch up. The red indicator is hidden, the

zoom lock switch lock is released and the zoom ring can be rotated.

* The zoom lock switch cannot be activated unless the lens is set to 200mm

position. Do not force the lock switch or try to rotate the lens barrel while

locked. Doing so may cause damage to the lens.

* The zoom lock mechanism is made to prevent the lens barrel from extending

while carried around the neck.When not locked in the 200mm position, the lens

may change its focal length during a long time exposure when angled in the

low or high position.

TRIPOD SOCKET

The A08 come equipped with a socket for using a tripod. Firmly fix the lens tri-

pod mount to the tripod attaching screw when using a tripod.

*Changing the vertical and horizontal position of the camera

1. Turn the tripod socket fixing screw in the counterclockwise direction to

loosen it.

2. Rotate the camera using the lens as the axis and line up the indicator on

the tripod mount mark using the vertical or horizontal indicators.

3. Tighten the tripod socket fixing screw in a clockwise direction and lock the

camera into place.

TRIPOD SOCKET (Continued)

* Removing the tripod socket

1. Turn the tripod socket fixing screw in the counterclockwise direction and

line up the white mark on the top of the knob with the tripod mount mark.

2. Pull the tripod socket fixing screw outward to open the tripod mount ring

and then remove the tripod socket.

* Attaching the tripod socket

1. Open the tripod mount ring and set it to the lens.

2. Make sure that the white mark on the top of the tripod socket fixing screw

and the tripod mount mark are aligned, and then pull the knob outward.

3. Close the tripod mount ring, and tighten the tripod socket fixing screw in a

clockwise direction.

*Hold the camera firmly when removing the tripod socket so you do not drop

the camera or the lens.

* Make sure that the white mark on the top of the knob and the indicator on

the tripod socket are aligned before you pull on the tripod fixing screw.

DEPTH OF FIELD

With a camera equipped with a depth of field preview button or a aperture stop

down mechanism, the depth of field can be directly observed through the

viewfinder screen of your camera.

**The optical design for this lens takes into consideration the various features of

digital single reflex cameras. However, due to the configuration of the digital

single reflex 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 autofocus under some conditions.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING

* The Tamron lens, SP AF200-500mm (Model A08) employs an internal focusing

[IF] system to achieve a remarkable minimum object distance of 2.5 meters

(8.20 feet). 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 phenom-

ena such as corner illumination fall-off or vignetting at the bottom part of the

image may be observed.This is due to the inherent illumination 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 image. It is strongly recommended to use

a suitable separate flash unit provided by the camera manufacturer for all flash

photography.

* to attach a lens where the maximum aperture is F3.5 or slower, (ex. High

power zoom lenses) is not recommended.

* When a teleconverter is attached, the focal length of the lens becomes longer

but the depth of field becomes shallower and it may be too difficult to shoot in

AF mode.Therefore, focusing in MF mode is recommended when a teleconvert-

er is used.

* Teleconverters are efficient tools to add focal length to the photographer's

telephoto lenses including zoom lenses, but cannot be recommended for use

with wide angle lenses or zoom lenses that cover wide-angle range focal

lengths.

* When using the lens in a telephoto focal range, it may be necessary to use a

tripod to avoid camera shake. Using high speed film (ISO 400 or faster) with a

fast shutter speed is also helpful to reduce the influence of camera shake.

* Do not forcibly turn the focusing ring when the lens in set in AF mode. Doing

so could damage the lens and/or camera.

* Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture

values of the lens as approximate numbers.This is inherent to the design if the

camera and not an indication of error.

* Please be aware that there is no infrared index line on any models listed in this

owner's manual.Therefore practically no black and white infrared film can be

used on this lens.

TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION

* Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use a photographic lens cloth or

blower to remove dust from the lens element surface. When not using the lens,

always place a lens cap on it for protection.

* Use a lens cleaning tissue or lint cloth with a drop of cleaning solution to

remove fingerprints or dirt on the glass lens surface with a rotary motion from

the center to the edge. Use a silicon cloth to clean your lens barrel only.

* Clean the lens barrel with a silicon cloth. Do not use benzene or paint thinner

or other organic cleansers.

* Mildew is an enemy of your lens. Clean the lens after shooting near water or in

any humid place. Store your lens in a clean, cool and dry place.When storing the

lens in a lens case, store it with commercially available drying agent such as sili-

ca gel, and change the agent occasionally. If you find mildew on your lens, con-

sult an authorized repair shop or nearby photographic store.

* Do not touch the lens-camera mount contacts since dust and/or dirt stains

may cause a contact failure between the lens and camera.

* When using your equipment in an environment where the temperature

changes from one extreme to the other, make sure to put your equipment tem-

porarily in a case or plastic bag for a length of time in order to go through a

gradual temperature shift. This will reduce potential equipment trouble.
