ATTACHING LENS TO CAMERA쐽 How to mount the lensRemove the rear cap of the lens, align the lens attachment mark on the lens barrel
with its counterpart on the lens mount of the camera and insert the lens mount intocamera's mount opening. Rotate the lens clockwise until it click-locks. For Nikon
models, align the lens attachment mark with the dot on the camera and rotate the lenscounter-clockwise until it click-locks.

쐽 How to detach the lensPress the lens release button of the camera, turn the lens, counter-clockwise (in caseof Nikon lens, clockwise), and lift the lens off the camera's lens mount.
• For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

SWITCHING BETWEEN AF & MF MODES (Ref. Figs. 2 & 3)
쐽 Nikon and Canon models
Simply move the focusing ring forward (to AF) and backward (to MF) to change thefocusing mode between autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF).

쐽 Sony and Pentax (272E) models
Move the focusing ring forward (to AF) and backward (to MF) and at the same time, set the
AF/MF selector switch of the camera body to the coinciding focusing mode (AF or MF).
Mount
Nikon, Canon
Sony, Pentax

AF/MF Switching Operation
Move focusing ring only
Move and switch both focusing ring and selector of camera body

• Carefully read "Autofocus" and "Manual focus" sections below and operate the camera andlens accordingly. In addition, please refer to the instructions related to focusing operationsof your camera.

FOCUSING (Autofocus (Ref. Fig. 2)
1) Set the camera in the AF mode, and move the focusing ring upward to the AF
position.
2) Press the shutter release button half-way while looking through the viewfinder. The
focusing ring will move automatically to focus.
• With Sony and Pentax cameras, when the focusing ring is set in the manual focus
position while the camera is set in the AF mode, the focusing ring rotates as if it werein the autofocus mode. Turning of the focusing ring in this instance may cause
damage to the lens and/or the camera body. Also, do not force the focusing ring when
it is set in the manual focus mode. Manual rotation of the focusing ring when thecamera is still set in the autofocus mode (AF) will cause mechanical damage to thelens and/or to the camera body.
• The distance scale (7) is marked for guidance purposes. The actual focal point may
slightly differ from the distance marked on the focal length index.

FOCUSING (Manual Focus) (Ref. Fig. 3)
쐽 Nikon and Canon models
1) Simply move the focusing ring backward to the MF position.
2) Rotate the focusing ring manually while looking through the viewfinder until theimage in the finder comes into sharp focus.

쐽 Sony and Pentax (272E) models
1) Switch the AF/MF selector switch on the camera body to MF mode then, slide thefocusing ring backward to the MF position.
2) Rotate the focusing ring manually while looking through the viewfinder until theimage in the finder comes into sharp focus.
• Before rotation of the focusing ring, make sure that the camera is set to the MF mode.
Manual rotation of the focusing ring when the camera is still set in AF mode will cause
mechanical damage to the lens and/or to the camera body.
• When using the lens on Nikon F-501 (N2020), please use the switches both on camera
body and the lens in order to select MF or AF.
• When the focusing ring is set to the AF position, the focusing ring rotates freely andyou cannot adjust focus.

• If you use the lens in the manual focus mode on an autofocus camera, rotate the focusing ring
while holding the shutter release button depressed half-way. The focus confirmation indicator
will light when subject comes into focus.
• Because B01 uses an internal focus mechanism, the lens does not extend (grow longer out of
the front of the camera) even during macro photography. This prevents large loss of balance
during focusing.
• The focusing ring rotates beyond the infinity ( ) position in order to properly focus to infinity
under a variety of environmental conditions. When manually focusing, make sure the subject
at infinity is sharp in the viewfinder.
• At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp. The infinity position is madewith certain allowances to insure proper focus under a variety of conditions.

LENS APERTURE AND AE MODE (Ref. Figs. 4 & 5)
쐽 Setting lens f-numbers with Nikon (272E), Canon & Sony cameras
Set the f-number with aperture setting device of the camera body in accordance withthe selected photographing mode.

쐽 Setting lens f-numbers with Nikon (B01) & Pentax (272E) cameras
Depending on the photography mode, it is possible to set the aperture on either the lens
aperture ring or on the camera body.
• Setting the aperture on the lens aperture ringSet the lens aperture ring so it is on the smallest f-stop for a Nikon camera and so it is noton the A mark for a Pentax, then set the f-stop you want with the indicator.
• Setting the aperture on the camera
Set the lens aperture ring so it is on the smallest f-stop for a Nikon camera and so it is on
the A mark for a Pentax, then set the f-stop you want with the indicator on the camera body.
• The lens aperture varies with focusing movement. Cameras read the different lens openings
and automatically adjust the exposure properly.
• For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

ATTACHING THE LENS HOOD (Ref. Fig. 1, 6, 7 & 8)
1) Align the index mark (•) on the hood with the index mark (•) on the lens. Place thehood onto the hood's attaching bayonet ring. (6 - 1)
2) Turn the hood clockwise until it clicks. (6 - 2) The index mark (쑗) on the hoodappears at the top when it is correctly attached. (7 - 3)

쐽 Stowing lens hood on the lens (Ref. Fig. 8)1) Detach and reverse the lens hood. Then align the index mark (쑗) on the hood with
the index mark (•) on the lens. Place the hood onto the hood's attaching-bayonet
ring. (8 - a)2) Turn the hood clockwise until it clicks. The index mark (•) on the hood appears at
the top when correctly stowed. (8 - b)

USING THE FOCUS LIMITER (272E) (Ref. Figs. 9)
When the focus limiter knob is set to "LIMIT", the camera can be autofocused withgreater speed within that range.

쐽 For the range from maximum close-up to infinity
Set the focus limiter knob to "FULL".

쐽 For close-ups (0.29m to approx. 0.4m)
Set the distance scale to a point between 0.29m and 0.4m, then set the focus limiterknob to "LIMIT".

쐽 For normal photos (0.45m to infinity)

Set the distance scale to a point between 0.45m and infinity (∞), then set the focus
limiter knob to "LIMIT".
• When shooting close-ups with the focus ring set between about 0.40m and 0.45 m thefocus limit knob cannot be set to LIMIT. This is due to the camera's mechanical system.

TRIPOD MOUNT (B01) (Ref. Figs. 0 & -)B01 is equipped with a tripod mount. Secure the camera to the tripod with the tripod
mount when using tripod.

쐽Changing the camera position• Setting the camera to vertical position
1) Turn the tripod mount locking screw counter-clockwise to loosen it. (Fig 0, Step 1)2) Rotate the camera using the lens as the axis, and align Tripod mount indicator andthe vertical indicator on tripod mount. (Fig 0, Step 2)
3) Tighten the tripod mount locking screw and lock the camera into vertical position.
(Fig 0, Step 1)• Setting the camera to horizontal position
1) Turn the tripod mount locking screw counter-clockwise to loosen it. (Fig 0, Step 1)2) Rotate the camera using the lens as the axis, and align Tripod mount indicator andthe horizontal indicator on tripod mount. (Fig 0, Step 2)
3) Tighten the tripod mount locking screw and lock the camera into horizontal position.
(Fig 0, Step 1)

쐽 Attaching and detaching the tripod mount• Removing the tripod mount1) Turn the locking screw on the tripod mount counter-clockwise. (Fig. -, Step 1)2) The tripod mount will loosen and can then be removed from the lens. (Fig. -, Step 3)• Attaching the tripod mount
1) Loosen the tripod mount locking screw and attach it to the lens barrel. (Fig. -, Step 1)2) Tighten the tripod mount locking screw and turn the locking screw clockwise to secure.
(Fig. -, Step 3)• When attaching or removing the tripod mount, be careful not to drop the camera and/or
the lens.
• Be cautious when carrying the lens while lens is attached to the tripod mount.

FILTER EFFECT CONTROL (B01 )B01 features a mechanism that allows you to rotate the filter with the hood on. Rotation of
the ring (4 Filter Effect Control Ring), which is near where the filter attaches, triggers
rotation of the filter allowing you to adjust the effect of the PL filter.

• The Filter Effect Control Ring and the filter rotates opposite to each other. When you
rotate the Filter Effect Control Ring in a clockwise direction, the filter rotates in acounter-clockwise direction.
• The rotation angle of the Filter Effect Control Ring is different from that of the filter. If
you wish to rotate the PL filter to an exact position using the index as the standard,
remove the hood and rotate the filter while keeping an eye on the index mark.
• You can change the visual effect by rotating PL and non-PL special effects filters such as across filter.

ABOUT MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY (Ref. Fig. =)From infinity (∞) to the macro zone, you can use AF or MF operation.
Since the distance scale and the magnification scale are imprinted side by side, you can
get a general idea of the magnification when shooting a picture.
Minimum Focus Distance
Maximum Magnification ratio
Magnification scale

272E
0.29 mB01
0.47 m1:1
1:10 - 1:1• For the correlation between the photographic distance and photographic magnification, pleaserefer to table =.

EXPOSURE RATE (Ref. Fig. =)When the lens is moved outwards to increase the magnification ratio for shooting close-ups,
the actual brightness on the film decreases and the effective F number changes. For auto
exposure photographing using the camera's TTL photometry function, the camera
automatically corrects this changed effective F number. When shooting with photometry
using an external exposure meter or when using an external light-adjusting flash, however,
the exposure must be corrected for this decrease in brightness according to the magnification ratio. For the amount of the correction, refer to table =.

DEPTH OF FIELD (Ref. Fig. q)
With a camera equipped with a depth-of-field-preview button or a aperture-stop-down
mechanism, the depth of field can be directly observed through the viewfinder screen ofyour camera. For the operational details, read the instruction manual of your camera.

INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
Please be aware that there is no infrared index line on any models listed in this owner's
manual. Therefore practically no black-and-white infrared film can be used with theselenses.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING• The optical design for 272E and B01 takes into consideration the various features ofdigital SLRs. However, due to the configuration of the digital SLRs, even when theautofocus accuracy is within specifications, the focal point may be a little forward or
behind the optimum point when shooting with auto focus under some conditions.
• Do not use the lens hood when using the camera's built-in flash. Also, when shooting
close-ups, the lens unit may obstruct the light of the flash even when not using thelens hood, resulting in vignetting at the bottom part of the image. Thus, we recommend using a special externally-mounted flash for flash photography.
Also refer to the section of your camera's instruction manual pertaining to the use of
the built-in flash.
• When using 272E and B01 with a tele-converter, use the manual focus. When a teleconverter is used with the macro lens, the autofocus may not operate correctly,
depending on the focusing distance. This is due to the camera's mechanical system.
Use a Tamron tele-converter with a Tamron lens for the best results. Tele-converters
produced by other manufacturers may not mount properly and/or cause malfunctions.
When a tele-converter is mounted onto a lens, the focusing ring normally feels heavier
when rotating.
• When using the lens in macro range, it may be necessary to use a tripod to avoid
camera shake. Using high speed film (ISO 400 or faster) with a fast shutter speed isalso helpful to reduce the influence of camera shake.
• Do not forcibly turn the focusing ring when camera and/or lens is/are set in the AF
mode. Doing so could damage the lens and/or camera.
• Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values ofthe lens inapproximate numbers. This is inherent to the design of the camera and not
an indication of an error.

TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION• Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use a photographic lens cloth or blower toremove dust from the lens element surface. When not using the lens, always place alens cap on it for protection.
• Use a lens cleaning tissue or lint cloth with a drop of cleaning solution to remove
fingerprints or dirt on the glass lens surface with a rotary motion from the center to theedge. Use a silicon cloth to clean your lens barrel only.
• Mildew is an enemy of your lens. Clean the lens after shooting near water or in any
humid place. Store your lens in a clean, cool and dry place. When storing the lens in
an lens case, store it with commercially available drying agent such as silicagel, andchange the agent occasionally. If you find mildew on your lens, consult an authorized
repair shop or nearby photographic store.
• Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts since dust, dirt and/or stains may
cause a contact failure between the lens and camera.
• When using your equipment [camera(s) and lens(es)] in an environment where thetemperature changes from one extreme to the other, make sure to put your equipment
temporarily in a case or a plastic bag for a length of time in order for the equipment togo through a gradual temperature shift. This will reduce potential equipment trouble.
