When operating this lens in manual focus mode, it is recommended that correct focus be confirmed visually in the viewfinder rather than relying on the distance scale. This is due to possible focus shift resulting from extreme changes in temperature which cause various components in the lens to expand and contract. [. . . ] For Sony and Pentax mounts, it is only possible to use the OS function, incorporated in this lens, with camera bodies which support motors driven by ultrasonic waves such as HSM.
