Do not look at the sun through the lens or 
through the lens mounted on a camera.  
Retinal damage and/or blindness may occur.  

Keep out of the reach of children.  The lens is 
heavy and could cause injury if it falls on a 
small child.  Also, the lens strap is also a 
choking hazard. If the strap becomes wrapped 
around the neck suffocation may occur.  

Be sure to mount the lens securely to the 
camera and confirm that the lens is locked 
into place before use.  If not the lens could 
fall off the camera causing damage or injury. 

Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight where 
it may condense the light and start a fire.

Do not look at the sun or other intense light 
sources through the lens or through the lens 
mounted on a camera.  Retinal damage 
and/or blindness may occur. 

When the lens is mounted on your camera, please 

be sure to set it properly and confirm it is firmly 
locked in place.  If not, the lens could fall off the 
camera causing damage or injury. 

The lens is a precision instrument. Handle with care 

and do not drop, hit against a hard object, shake 
violently or apply pressure. Otherwise, it may cause 
the precision parts to malfunction.

Be sure not to apply too much weight on the lens 

when mounted on your camera. The extra weight may 
cause damage to both the camera and the lens mount.

When using a large or heavy lens, be sure to properly 

support the lens and camera to avoid damaging the 
mounts.

Be sure to inspect the lens and/or take test shots 

with the lens in advance of any actual shooting.  
This is recommended for when the lens is new and if 
the lens has been in storage for a long time. 

Do not remodel or convert the lens. This may cause 

malfunction for both the camera and lens . Repair 
for the altered lens may void manufacturer's 
warranted service. Remove all dust, dirt, sand, 
water, harmful gas and saline matter from the lens. 
Be sure not to use organic solvents such as paint 
thinner or benzin for cleaning.

THE LENS IS NOT WATERPROOF!  Do not submerge or spray 

the lens with water. Water damaged lens will be impossible to 
repair.

Wipe off water droplet by using a clean dry cloth. Use the 

blower to remove dirt and sand. Clean thoroughly when used 
near and around the ocean. Salt water is highly corrosive.

Any water that seeps into the lens could cause it to 

malfunction.  

Refrain from using the lens in high humidity or take extra 

precautions in these types of climates.  In order to keep the 
damage minimal and to keep the repair cost down, follow these 
precautions, when shooting in such climate. Keep the lens in a 
bag or a case and remove only after moving to a place of more 
mild temperature. If the lens is left at temeratures over +40C or 
under -10C for an extended period of time the lens body could 
become deformed or the lens may malfunction.  

When the lens is attached or detached from your camera, turn 

the lens to face up for better handling. 

To prevent scratches on the front and rear elements, use the 

lens caps at all time when the lens is not in use.

Avoid touching the front or rear elements with your hand to 

prevent smudges and fingerprints.

Remove fingerprints and smudges by using a lens cleaner and 

disposable lens tissues. Use gentle, circular motion from the 
center of the lens toward the outer edge of the lens.
