ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE LENS

How to mount the lens

Remove the rear cap of the lens. Align the lens attachment mark (15) on the lens barrel with

its counterpart on the camera mount and insert the lens. Rotate the lens clockwise until it

click-locks. For Nikon, Sony and Pentax models, align the lens attachment mark on the cam-

era and zoom index (11) on the lens to attach the lens. 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 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.

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

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

Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to Auto focusing mode (AF) in case of

Nikon, Sony, or Pentax. In case of Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (14) on the lens to

AF. (Fig. 5). Press the shutter button lightly while viewing through the camera's viewfinder,

the lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will light when the lens focuses on the

main subject sharply. Press the shutter button further to photograph.

When set on AF mode, interfering with focusing ring (8) may cause serious damage to the lens

mechanism.

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

FOCUSING (Manual focus) (Ref. Figs 1, 2 & 6)

Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to manual focusing mode (MF) in case of

Nikon, Sony, or Pentax. In case of Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (14) on the lens to

MF. (Fig. 6). Focus manually by 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.

Even in the MF mode, turing the focusing ring (8) while pressing the shutter button halfway the

focus aid function lamp lights up when the picture is in focus.

At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp.The infinity position is made with

certain allowances to insure proper focus under a variety of conditions.

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

LENS APERTURE AND AE MODE (Ref. Figs. 1, 7, & 8)

Setting lens f-numbers with Canon & Sony cameras

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

selected photographing mode.

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

Setting lens f-numbers with Nikon & Pentax cameras

Photographing in a programmed-AE or a shutter-speed-priority-AE mode. Rotate the lens

aperture ring (21) to the minimum aperture position, in case of Nikon camera, and set on

the “A” position in case of a Pentax camera. The aperture ring will be locked in position

automatically. When shooting in an aperture-priority-AE or manual-exposure mode, release

the lens aperture ring lock button.

The lens aperture varies with zooming movement. Cameras read the different lens openings

and automatically adjust the exposure properly.

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

If your camera is a Nikon F401 or F50, you can set the aperture to any desired f-number, leaving the

aperture ring at the minimum opening position.

ZOOMING (Ref. Figs.1 & 2)

Rotate zooming ring (9) of the lens while viewing through the camera's viewfinder and

compose your image at the chosen focal length.

Lens Hood (Ref. Figs. 1, 12 to 17)

When attaching and detaching the lens hood for the A17, be sure to set your camera or lens to MF

mode.The hood attaching bayonet ring (5) turns as the the focusing ring (8) turns. Trying to attach the lens

hood when the camera or lens is set in AF mode forces the focusing ring (8) to turn and will damage the

camera or lens.

Attaching the Lens Hood (Ref. Figs. 12 & 13)

1. For Nikon, Sony, or Pentax cameras, set the camera to the MF mode. For Canon cameras,

set the AF-MF switch (14) on the lens to the MF position.

2. Align the hood attaching alignment mark (2) on the hood with the corresponding index

mark (5) or the top of the index line of the distance scale on the lens. Press the hood lightly

onto the hood attaching bayonet ring (Fig. 12) and then rotate it clockwise to secure (Fig.

12). The lens hood will be securely held as the mark (TAMRON O) comes to the top (Fig. 13).

When attaching the lens hood, hold the focusing and zoom control rings so that they are

not rotated unintentionally.

Detaching the lens hood

1. For Nikon, Sony, and Pentax cameras, set the camera to the MF position. For Canon

cameras, set the AF-MF switch (14) on the lens to the MF position.

2. Secure the focusing ring (8) from moving while turning the lens hood (1) counter-

clockwise, until the hood is released from the lens.

Stowing lens hood on the lens (Ref. Fig. 14)

*The lens hood can be reverse-mounted for easy storage.

1. For Nikon, Sony, and Pentax cameras, set the camera to the MF mode. For Canon cameras,

set the AF-MF switch (14) to the MF position.

2. Reverse the lens hood. Point the lens toward to opening, then align the hood (5) on the

lens with the (TAMRON O) alignment on the hood (3).

3. Turn the hood clockwise until the alignment mark is at the top to set it. (Fig. 14)

Detaching the stored lens hood from the lens (Ref. Fig. 15 to 17)

1. For Nikon, Sony, and Pentax cameras, set the camera to the MF mode. For Canon cameras,

set the AF-MF switch (14) to the MF position.

2. Set the zoom index mark (11) at 300mm on the zooming ring (9).

3. Hold the extended portion of the focusing ring (8) to secure from moving while turning

the hood (1) counter-clockwise until the hood is released.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING

The optical design for Di-II takes into consideration the various features of digital

single 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.

Switching to Macro Photography (Ref. Figs. 1, 18 to 21)

The model A17 allows macro photography by operating the macro selector switch.

Switching to Macro Photography

First, turn the zoom ring to align the zoom between 180-300mm. Next, slide the macro

switch (22) from the Normal to the Macro position.The lens is now switched to macro

photography mode.

The macro selector switch (22) cannot be operated unless the zooming ring (9) is between 180mm,

and 300mm. Always make sure to align the zoom ring between 180mm and 300mm before operating the

macro selector switch.

When in the macro photography mode, the zoom ring can only be rotated over the range of 180-

300mm.

When in the macro photography mode, the focusing ring rotates continuously from infinity to the

minimum focus distance of 0.95m.

The maximum magnification ratio in the macro photography mode is 1:2 (f=300mm, 0.95m)

Cancellation of Macro Photography

First, check that the focusing ring (8) is aligned to 1.5m or farther (1.5 - infinity). Next, slide

the macro selector switch (22) from the Macro position to the normal position.The macro

photography mode is now cancelled.

The macro selector switch (22) cannot be operated unless the focusing ring (8) is set to a dis-

tance between 1.5m and infinity. Always make sure to align the focus ring is set between 1.5m and infinity

before operating the macro selector switch.

The focus ring can only be turned between infinity and 1.5m when the macro selector switch is set

to the Normal position (when macro photography is cancelled.) It cannot be turned to a distance closer

than 1.5m.

TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION

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

gerprints or dirt on the glass lens surface with a rotary motion from the center to the edges.

Use a silicon cloth to clean your lens barrel only.

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, dry place. When storing your lens in a lens case,

store it with commercially available drying agents such as silica gel, and change the agent

occasionally. If you find mildew on your lens, consult an authorized repair shop or nearby

photographic store.

Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts since dust, dirt and/or 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 another, make sure to put your equipment temporarily in a case or a plastic

bag for a length of time in order for the equipment to go though a gradual temperature,

this will reduce potential equipment trouble.

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 as it may cause vignetting on the image.

A17 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.
