The lens has opened up new horizo ns for
macro photography which have been
almost impossible in the past; you can

(3) Constant F ·Number
A convent ional fixed focal length lens
requires troub lesome F/stop calcu lations
depending on the object distance.
Tamron's innovative focusing system
allows you to maintain a constant light
transmission while focusing so that the
F-number does not change at any focus
settings from infinity to close up
(macro ), Therefore, you can obta in
optimum exposure time without any
correction even in auto flash photo-
graphy. which so far, required obta ining
a corrected va lue by means of guide
numbers. In add ition, w ith the te le-
macro capab ility of the T amron mirror
lens permitting the use of an auto flash
at the m ini mum distance of 1.1 meters
(f or 350mm F5.6) or 1.7 meters, (for
500mm FB), high-speed macro photo-
graphy utilizing an auto f lash is possibl e.
(4) Silver-Evaporated Reflex Mirrors
In order to increase fight transmission
eff ic iency, your new Tamron mirror lens
incorporates specia l silver-evaporated re-
flex mirrors rathe r than the conventional
mirrors whose su rfaces are coated with
alumi num. With two reflex mirrors, the
total reflection percentage within a lens
havin.Q aluminum -coated mirrors be-
comes 60% or less. However, Tamron h as
succeeded in obtaining a reflection per-
ce ntage as high as 80% or more with the
sil ver-evaporated reflex mirrors. Th e
specia l sil ve r evaporat ion which is ap-
plied to the reflex mirrors is extremely
durable. The degree of durability ex·
ceeds t he requirements conta ined in the
MIL standard by more than th ree times
thanks to Tamron's ori ginal coat ing
t echnique employing a combination of
a single layer of metallic coating and two
layers of high molecu lar fi lm s.
(5) Unique and Convenient Outer
Design
In designing the outer appearance of the
lens, emphasis was put on the maximum
handling convenience by concentrating
all the necessary in formation in one
place where it can be easily read. Most of
Tamron lenses, including your new lens,
are marked with the maximum macro
magn ification scale to be applied when
Tamron's SP 2X tele-converter is used .

 4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Correct Method of Handling
a Long Telephoto Lens and
Using It with a Tripod.
Compared with t elephoto lenses normal-
ly used (i .e. 135 to 300mm ). the angle of
view of your lens is considerably nar-
rower, which can possibly cause " camera
shake" problem s when the shutter is
re leased. The refore, taking tids into can·
sideration, follow the recommendations
as desc ribed be low when you use the
lens.
a. Hand·Hold Photography
H o ld th e focus ing ring of th e lens with
your left hand. Draw the came ra near
and hold it firmly against your face w ith
left hand . I f y ou wear glasses, fix the
viewfinder frame securely against the
glasses. The slowest shutter speed which
permits hand·held shots is normally can·
sidered to be 1/focal length of the lens.
Therefore, wi t h your lens. it is recom-
mended that you use ·a shutter speed of
1/500 second or faste r , h owever, de-
pending upon the extent of your prof i·
ciency in hand-held photography w ith a
long telephoto lens, shutter speeds
slower than 1/500 second may also be
used.
b. With Tripod :
I t is recommended t o u se heavy duty
tripod when using a long telephoto lens.
A lso use cab le release for shutter releas-
ing.
(2) Focusing
I. While lookin g through your c&mera 's
viewf inder, tu rn the focus ing r ing until
you see a sharp image. If your camera
accepts different focus ing screens, then
it is advisable to use a matte-fresnel
sc reen. This type of scree n is normally
recommended for ultra-telephoto lenses
and it wi ll make focusing easier.
Note : Since your mirror lens is an ultra·
telephoto lens, th e position of the dis·

practice focusing prior to photographing
any subjects and you may also want to
take a test roll of film. If your camera
accepts interchangeable screens you
should use a cross-screen and in addition,
a viewing magnifier would greatly assist
you.

(3) Macro Operation
The Tamron mirror lens has a new fea-
ture which permits continuous focusing
from infinity to macro and no additional
special operation is required for macro
use. On the focusing ring, the macro
magnification ratios are shown in orange.
In addition, the magnification ratios for
use with the SP 2X tele-converter {which
doubles the focal length of the lensl are
engraved in yellow. Simply set the lens
at the d esired macro magnification scale
and then focus the lens.

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(5) Installing Filters
Your mirror lens accepts 30.5mm rear
screw-in filters. Since the focusing
system of the lens is precisely adjusted
with a filter fitted, you must use a filter
at all times to obtain the optimum per·
formance. For this reason, a normal
(general purpose) filter is fitted to your
lens at the factory. A set consisting of
ND4X. Y52. 056 and R60 filters is
available as an optional extra. ND2X and
81 B filters are also available separately.
I n order to remove a fil ter it should be
unscrewed by turning it anticlockwise.
To fit another filter simply screw it on
clockwise making sure it is not over-
tightened as otherwise it may be dif-
fieu I t to remove. When you wish to
replace filters. it is easier if the custom
mount is removed from the lens. I t is
best to use filters which have been
precision engineered for ultra tele photo
lenses and hence th is is the reason the
above mentioned filters are available.
You should always hold the filter by
its rim and not by the glass surface
because finger prints, etc. can damage

The Tripod Ring
the quality of your pictures and possibly
damage the filter coating.
(1) For 500mm lan,
The tripod ring can be mounted or re o
moved as shown in photo (,A ) by tighten ·
Ing or loosening the two tripod ring
mounting screws. In addition, by loosen-
ing the tripod fastening screw provided
on one side of the ring, you can se lect
0
any posi t ion within 360 , thus com·
manding free camera movement, ~hori·
zontally or vertical ly. When you are
mounting your camera and lens on a
tripod, you shou ld always use the tr ipod
mounting ring and not the t r ipod socket
on your camera because the tr ipod ring
will provide you with maximum stabil i ty
and convenience.
Note : The tripod mounting r ing should
be fitted with the fastening screw near
to the back of the lens as otherwise the
ring may fou l th~ camera body.
When mounting the lens on a tripod. do
not tighten the fastening screw of the
tripod's universal head excessively-as
otherwise the fastening screw may come
into contact with the focusing ring of
the lens (see Fig. 1). (I fit touches the
lens. the focusing ring will become
inoperable.)
(2) For 350mm Ions
The tripod mounting base is built-in on
the SP 350mm lens. The base can be
rotated in 90 degrees :push the L-shaped
lever at the rear end of the lens barrel
and turn the lens until the lever clicks.
