    Some Canon digital SLR cameras have index marks for attaching both EF lenses (red) and EF-S lens- es (white) on the bayonet mount. To attach Tamron Di-II lenses, align the lens attachment mark on the lens (15) with the index mark for EF lenses (red). Do not forcibly align the indicator on the kens (15) with the index mark for EF-S lens (white).

  • Page 8 TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use a photographic lens cloth or a blower to remove dust from the lens element surface. When not using the lens, always place a lens cap on it for protection. Use a lens cleaning tissue or lint cloth with a drop of cleaning solution to remove fin- gerprints or dirt on the glass lens surface with a rotary motion from the center to the edges.
