who originally supplied the lens.

Never use flammable substances such as benzene or thinner for cleaning, as this may present a
serious fire or electric shock hazard.

(NOTE)
1. Dust or fingerprints on the lens surface
Gently blow or brush away dust or dirt on the lens surface using a lens blower or a soft lens brush.
Remove any fingerprints or other stains with a soft clean cotton cloth moistened with lens cleaning
fluid or lens cleaning paper (Shilbon paper, etc.).
Gently swirl the cloth or paper over the lens surface. Start first at the center area of the lens and rub
with a circular motion, then gradually shift the circle until whole lens surface has been covered.
Be careful not to rub dust across the lens, as the lens surface may be scratched.
2. Periodic inspection
A periodic inspection (about once a year) is recommended.
The inspection and maintenance interval depends on the operating conditions, the frequency of use,
and the environment. If required, overhaul the lens.
STORAGE
CAUTION
1. Always attach the hood cap and the dust cap before storing the lens.
Storing the lens without these caps attached may present a fire hazard due to light convergence
effect.

(NOTE)
1. If moisture enters the lens due to mist or light rain, etc., immediately wipe away any water with a
dry cloth and then seal the lens in a vinyl bag together with a desiccant ( as fresh as possible) to
completely remove the moisture from inside the lens.
