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.
