Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This lens is designed for Nikon DSLR cameras featuring the Nikon F-mount. To attach, align the white or red mounting index on the lens with the corresponding index on your camera body and rotate the lens clockwise until it clicks into place. To detach, press and hold the lens release button on the camera body while rotating the lens counter-clockwise.
Compatibility:
This lens is primarily compatible with Nikon FX-format (full-frame) DSLR cameras. It can also be used on Nikon DX-format (APS-C) DSLR cameras, where it will provide a focal length equivalent of approximately 105-300mm due to the crop factor.
Care:
- Cleaning the Lens Elements: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the front and rear elements. For stubborn smudges, a lens cleaning solution may be applied sparingly to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Storage: Store the lens in a dry, dust-free environment. Use a padded camera bag or its original lens hood and cap for protection when not in use.
- Handling: Avoid exposing the lens to extreme temperatures, humidity, sand, or saltwater. If the lens comes into contact with saltwater or foreign substances, wipe it clean immediately with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
- Filter Size: The lens accepts standard 77mm screw-in filters.
