The walimex Telezoom Lens has an unusually long focal distance range of 650-1300mm at a speed of
8.0-16 (depending on focal distance). The sturdy metal casing and the high-quality coated glass
lenses ensure a good image quality. The internal focusing (i.e. the front lens does not turn while
focusing) enables the unproblematic use of polarising and graduated filters. With the help of the
sturdy tripod mount ring the lens can be fastened to a tripod with an optimised balance point
(because of the long focal distance we recommend the use of a tripod in order to achieve vibration-
free exposure). With a comparatively short closest focusing distance of only 5 metres, the lens
enables a sensational magnification at 1300mm. Focusing takes place manually. The lens can be
used with aperture priority and manual exposure setting. Thanks to the easy handling, the lens is
also especially suitable for beginners.
1.
Mounting your lens
Your Lens utilizes a universal mounting ring (T2) which allows your lens to fit practically
all SLR cameras manufactured since 1960. Simply attach the specific T2 adapter for your
style camera to the actual lens and then mount to your camera body in the same way as
your existing lens, which your camera is equipped. Also remove your lens the same way
as your exiting lens and consult your camera introduction manual for further details.
After mounting your T2 adapter to the lens, you may have to adjust the T -mounts so that
the top of the lens faces upward. If this is necessary, loosen the 3 small screws located
on the T-mounts and turn the lens until it is in the proper usable position. Make sure to
retighten the 3 screws after you make the adjustments.

Focusing the lens
Turn the ring with hole open position. Now you see through the viewfinder of their camera.
Now you can set the desired focal length. This setting attach by focusing again on hole
position is rotated.
NOTE:
In order to compensate focusing when normal focusing position may differ due to extreme
temperature change, the focusing ring has been designed to allow rotation beyond tile fixed
engraved marks of the distance scale, To avoid error, focusing should always be made while
looking through the viewfinder.
NOTE:
No adjustment of focusing is necessary when taking infrared photography, as is required
with normal lenses.
