Your new Catadioptric or Reflex mirror lens is a highly developed, computer designed product which uses the merits of both reflex optics and refraction optics. This gives you very sharp picture quality with less color aberration, which is considered the most harmful factor in the field of telephoto photography. 1. Required T-Mount A proper T-Mount adapter should be threaded onto the back of your lens in order to attach your lens to your camera. 2.
NOTE: In order to compensate focusing when normal positioning may be altered due to extreme temperature change, the focusing ring has been designed to allow rotation beyond the fixed marks of the distance scale. To avoid mistakes, always focus while looking through the viewfinder. NOTE: No adjustments in focusing are necessary when taking infrared photography as required with normal lenses. 4.
Y52 (Yellow): This filter is used when taking black and white pictures. It also makes a blue background darker. It is quite effective when taking shots of clouds on a blue horizon. 056 (Orange): This filter makes blue or green color lines darker and yellow or red color lines lighter than they seem to the human eye. It is most effective when stronger contrasts are desired. R60 (Red): This filter is used to make daytime scenery appear as night time scenery, or to emphasize and strengthen contrast.
6. Exposure or Aperture Adjustments with TTL Cameras Since the aperture of the reflex lens cannot be changed, the exposure is controlled entirely by the shutter speed being used. The speed dial is set according to your TTL reading. Cameras with automatic aperture and shutter priority will automatically set the right speed with their auto exposure mechanisms, with the exception of a few models which require manual function.

NOTE: Generally, if a 1/2 shutter speed adjustment is indicated to negative film, a full stop should be taken. When a reversal film is being used, disregard the half-stop setting and use a normal shutter speed. 8. Depth of Field The area in acceptable sharpness in front of, and behind the subject in focus is called the depth of field. The aperture selected and the distance of the subject as well as the focal length of a lens determines the depth of field.
9. Cleaning and Maintenance Tips A. The lens should always be capped when not in use. Only wipe with cleaning papers or cloth specifically made for optics. B. Accumulated dust should be blown off with a syringe or blower brush specifically designed for this purpose. To remove fingerprints or smears, shred the end of a lens tissue and roll it to make a swab: dampen it with a lens cleanerspecially made for photographic optics and gently wipe the surface without applying too much pressure.
