Vivitar 500mm Preset, Instruction Manual

-5-

Your 650-1300mm preset lens incorporates not only computerized optical design but also the latest in 

optical multi-coating techniques.  The process of multi-coating assures virtually flare free photographs even 

under adverse lighting conditions resulting in crisp, high contrast pictures.  Preset lenses are designed to 

retain a full range of exposure, automation and metering capabilities of the camera on which they are 

mounted.

MOUNTING THE LENS

Your preset lens utilizes a universal mounting ring (t-mount) which allows your lens to fit practically all SLR 

cameras manufactured since 1960.  Simply attach the specific t-mount for your model camera to the preset 

lens and then mount it to the body of your camera in the same way as you would with the lens included with 

your camera.  After mounting your t-mount lens adapter to the lens, you may have to adjust the t-mounts so 

that the top of the lens faces upwards.  If this is necessary, loosen the small screws so that you can make the 

needed adjustments.
