Instruction manual
We believe that this new 100mm F2.8 ED UMC MACRO lens will give you a special
photographic
experience.
100mm F2.8 ED UMC MACRO lens completes an optical system based on superior
optical technologies, and maintains excellent resolution by adopting a high refractive low
dispersive lens and an UMC (Ultra Multi Coating).
Advantages of the 100mm F2.8 ED UMC MACRO
1. 35mm full frame image size.
2. It compensates for aberrations by using a high refractive low dispersive lens and high
class optical glass, and at the fully opened position, produces a high resolution and a
high contrast at the center of the lens as well as around the periphery.
3. Allows precision focus control with smooth operation.
4. Coating design by controlling ghosting as much as possible and reproducing vivid color
images.
5. Produces smooth focusing by means of the aperture design, which comes close to a
circular shape with its 9 diaphragm blades.
6. This lens is applicable on various purposes for taking pictures not only for close-ups
but also landscape and portrait as well as normal lens.
The 100mm F2.8 ED
UMC MACRO lens for photo shooting is designed with its own
mount. You can mount the lens directly onto the camera without using an additional
adaptor. Read this manual carefully to familiarize yourself with your lens for correct use.
※ Please read the 'Safety Precautions' at the back of this instruction manual prior to use.

6. Camera Settings
Some cameras require special settings when using this lens.Please read the information
below and set your camera accordingly.
The aperture of the 100mm F2.8 ED UMC MACRO Canon mount is not geared to the
camera.
If the F stop is set to above 8, the user may not be able to set the correct focus due to a
difficulty in viewing a subject through the camera viewfinder. Therefore turn the aperture
adjustment ring and fully open it when attaching this lens to the camera, and then turn
the aperture adjustment ring again to set the depth of focus and brightness you want to
express prior to shooting.
Canon Mount
1) Set the camera mode dial to M.
2) Adjust the shutter speed to achieve the appropriate exposure according to
brightness.
※ The shutter speed of some Canon cameras changes automatically if the shooting mode
dial is set to Av and the brightness is set by turning the aperture adjustment ring.
Therefore the shutter speed is not required to be set additionally as with the M mode.
(The above procedure applies to the 40D. The settings for the camera or the menu may be
changed depending on t
he model or due to a menu upgrade. Therefore refer to the camera
manual or contact the camera manufacturer for detailed information.)
Nikon (Fujifilm) AE Mount
Nikon (Fujifilm) F Mount
Your Nikon mount has electronic contacts that allow it to communicate with Nikon AF
cameras. These contacts enable the A, S, and P modes of the camera. When a subject
is correctly in focus, the camera emits a beep or an indicator light comes on.
1. Set the camera mode dial to M.
2. Set the focus adjustment lever of the camera to 'M'.
3. When an MF lens is attached, some Nikon cameras allow you to enter the focal
length and the brightness. With these Nikon cameras, you can use the MF lens more
efficiently by entering the focal length and the brightness.
※ For some Nikon cameras, if the focal length and the brightness are set, and the
desired brightness is set in A/S/P mode by turning the aperture adjus
tment ring, the
camera automatically changes the shutter speed. Therefore you don't need to adjust
the shutter speed as well, which is required in M mode.
(The settings for the camera or the menu may vary based on the camera model or due to a
functional upgrade. Refer to the camera manual or contact the camera manufacturer for
detailed information.)
Pentax (Samsung GX) K Mount
1. Av Mode (Aperture Priority Mode)The 100mm F2.8 ED UMC MACRO Pentax K
mount Av mode is supported.

button on the aperture adjustment ring of the lens.
2) Set the mode dial of the camera to Av.
3) Set the focus adjustment lever of the camera to MF.
4) Set the menu on the camera.
User settings ⇒ Use aperture ring ⇒ Not allowed
5) Adjust the brightness by turning the dial at the back of the camera.
(The above procedure applies to the K20D. The settings for the camera or the menu may be
changed depending on the model or due to a menu upgrade. Therefore refer to the camera
manual or contact the camera manufacturer for detailed information.)
Sony (Minolta) α Mount
The aperture of the 100mm F2.8 ED UMC MACRO Sony (Minolta) a mount is not geared
to the camera.
If the F stop is set to above 8, the user may not be able to set the correct focus due to a
difficulty in viewing a subject through the camera viewfinder. Therefore turn the aperture
adjustment ring and fully open it when attaching this lens to the camera, and then turn the
aperture adjustment ring again to set the depth of focus and brightness you want to
express prior to shooting.
1) Set the camera mode dial to M.
2) Set the focusing lever of the camera to MF.
3) Adjust the shutter speed to achieve the appropriate exposure according to brightness.
(The above procedure applies to the α350. The settings for the
camera or the menu
may be changed depending on the model or due to a menu upgrade. Therefore refer
to the camera manual or contact the camera manufacturer for detailed information.)
