Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the lens, align the white mounting mark on the lens barrel with the corresponding mark on your Nikon camera body and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place. This lens is specifically designed for DX-format Nikon cameras; while it can physically mount on some FX cameras, you may experience vignetting unless the camera is set to 'DX Crop Mode.'
For maintenance, always use a dedicated lens blower or a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust from the front and rear elements. Always keep the lens cap on when not in use, and store it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup or fungus growth. Use a 67mm filter if you wish to protect the front element from scratches or debris.
