MOUNTING THE LENS
To mount, position the lens on the camera's bayonet mount, lining up the aperture index on the

FOCUSING
When used with a Nikon F4-Series, F90X/N90s, F90-Series/N90 or F70-Series/N70 camera,
this lens not only lets you choose between autofocus or manual focusing, but also enables
quick switching between autofocus and manual (autofocus with manual priority) by presetting
the focus mode ring to the M/A position. With other cameras, only manual focusing is
available. See chart below to determine appropriate focus mode.
