NOTE:
With some lenses, the front or other parts can
rotate during focussing. The mounting of the

using a lens adapter ring can possibly impair the
focussing and thereby possibly cause damage
to the lens and Macro Ring Fash MRF 3500. We
therefore recommend at you use the lens in
manual mode when using such lenses.
