The value for equivalent 35mm-format focal length is based on Digital Single Lens Reﬂex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor.

The value of angle of view 1 is based on 35mm-format cameras, and that of angle of view 2 is based on Digital Single Lens Reﬂex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor.

Minimum focus is the shortest distance from the image sensor to the subject.

• This lens is equipped with a distance encoder. The distance encoder allows more accurate measurement (ADI) by using a ﬂash for ADI.
• Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at inﬁnity.

Included items: Lens (1), Front lens cap (1), Rear lens cap (1), Lens hood (1), Exclusive case (1), Set of printed documentation

 Attaching the lens hood

It is recommended that you use a lens hood to
reduce ﬂare and ensure maximum image quality.

Align the red lines on the lens hood and
the lens. Turn the lens hood clockwise until
the red line on the lens meets the red dot
on the lens hood and it clicks into place (1).

• The polarizing-ﬁlter window can be opened (2) to

allow the rotation of the polarizing ﬁlter without
having to remove the lens hood. Close the window
when shooting.

• When using a built-in camera ﬂash, make sure to

remove the lens hood to avoid blockage of the ﬂash
light.

• Attach the lens hood properly. Otherwise, the lens hood may interfere with the desired effect or may appear in pictures.
• When storing, turn over the lens hood and place it onto the lens backwards.

 Zooming

Rotate the zooming ring to the desired focal length.

 Switching focus range (AF range)

The focus-range limiter enables you to reduce the auto focusing time. This is
useful when the subject distance is deﬁnite. You can also set the desired focus
range and select it.

Slide the focus-range limiter to select the focus range.

• FULL: AF is set to the minimum focusing distance to inﬁnity.
•

∞ - 3m: AF is set to 3 m (9.8 feet) to inﬁnity.

 Focusing

To switch AF (auto focus)/MF (manual focus)

The focus mode can be switched between AF and MF on the lens.
For AF photography, both the camera and lens should be set to AF. For MF
photography, either or both the camera or lens should be set to MF.

To set the focus mode on the lens
Slide the focus-mode switch to the appropriate mode, AF or MF (1).

• In MF, turn the focusing ring to adjust the focus (2) while looking through the

viewﬁnder. The focus signal in the viewﬁnder indicates the current condition of the
focus.

To use a camera equipped with an AF/MF control button

• Press the AF/MF control button to switch AF to MF when both the camera and lens are

set to AF.

• Press the AF/MF control button to switch MF to AF when the camera is set to MF and

the lens is set to AF.

Direct manual focus (DMF)

Even when AF is set, the setting is switched to MF automatically if you rotate the focusing ring while pressing the
shutter button halfway. This provides quick ﬁne adjustment of focusing (DMF). Select the mode for correct DMF from
the following. Set the DMF-mode switch to whichever you prefer.

Standard DMF (STD.)

Rotate the focusing ring to set correct DMF when the focus is locked in AF-A (automatic auto focus) or AF-S (single-
shot auto focus). Using this mode is recommended for normal subjects.

• DMF is not available in AF-C (continuous auto focus), when out of focus, or with continuous advance in AF-A after the second

focus is conﬁrmed.

Full-time DMF (F TIME)

In any AF mode (AF-A/S/C), rotate the focusing ring while pressing the shutter button halfway to set correct DMF. This
is useful to catch a fast-moving subject.

Shooting at inﬁnity in MF

The focusing mechanism turns slightly past inﬁnity to provide accurate focusing
under various operating temperatures. Always conﬁrm the image sharpness
through the viewﬁnder, especially when the lens is focused near inﬁnity.

 Using focus-hold buttons

This lens has 3 focus-hold buttons.
Press the focus-hold button in AF to cancel AF. The focus is ﬁxed and you can
release the shutter on the ﬁxed focus. Release the focus-hold button while pressing
the shutter button halfway to start AF again.

• The function of the focus-hold button can be changed on cameras with custom

function capability. Refer to the camera manuals for details.

Depth-of-ﬁeld table

The sets of three numbers, upper, middle, and bottom, are for 70 mm, 105 mm, and 200 mm focal length respectively, in
