ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE INTERCHANGEABLE MOUNT
This lens employs the Tamron Adaptall-2 Interchangeable Mount System. The lens can be
fitted to most of the SLR cameras on the market. Please read the instructions manual
enclosed with the mount, so that the proper fitting is made.
1. Fitting the Mount to Your Lens
Align the green dot on the bayonet of the custom mount with the matching green
dot on the lens barrel and turn the mount clockwise for approximately 2cm until the mount
is locked into the proper position. The custom mounts for cameras featuring TTL light-
metering, AE and automatic diaphragm control, are provided with a meter coupling lever
which activates the control ring. After fitting the custom mount, move the meter-coupling
lever so it engages in the provided on the lens, and the exposure control mechanism of the
lens will cross couple to the camera's system.
2. Removing the Mount from Your Lens
Before removing the custom mount, be sure to move the aperture ring to the maxi-
mum opening. An L-shaped mount release lever is provided directly opposite the aperture
indicator which, when depressed, will release the mount. Therefore, while keeping the L-
shaped mount release lever depressed, turn the custom mount counter-clockwise all the
way until it stops and then lift the mount off the lens. [1 - 4]
MOUNTING THE LENS TO YOUR CAMERA
Your Tamron lens with the Adaptall custom mount can be fitting to your camera in the same
manner as camera manufacturer's lens.
FOCUSING
Focusing is done by rotating the focus ring. Focusing can be monitored on the focusing
screen of the viewfinder while the focus ring is being rotated.
* For further details, please refer to the section of the instruction booklet called "How to
focus."
* To confirm the minimum focus distance at the focal length in use, please refer to minimum
focus distance scales shown on the lens barrel. [6, 7]
