• Do not look directly at the sun, through the lens. Doing so can cause damage to the eye or loss of eyesight.

• Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight without the lens cap attached, whether the lens is attached to the camera or not. This will prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays, which may cause a fire.

• The shape of the mount and its surrounding parts are very complex. Please be careful when handling them so as not to cause injury.

• Please select a sturdy tripod that is capable of supporting this lens. If the tripod isnot sturdy enough, it may cause the lens to fall.

• This lens has a built-in magnet. Please keep it at least 5cm (2in) away from
  medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers as it may adversely affect them.

• Please do not place credit cards featuring a magnetic strip (or any other object that is sensitive to a magnetic field) close to the lens as it could damage the data stored on the card.
