I am not sure that I understand how to use these, I got the lens ordered on Saturday and have been reading the manual but these have me perplexed. Could somebody please help me to understand these direction. Thank you very much. This will be my first lens of this quality and for now will be attached to an eos M50 with the Canon Adapter.

Thank you very much. Yes everyone has given great answers, the problem in understanding is mine, I have had very severe ADD/ADHD my entire life and I tend to have problems grasping things, for me one of the majors is anything with numbers, it is the reason I mess up my settings so often and struggle with DOF at times. Well most times which is why I take MANY photos at MANY settings.

Look, these documents are written in Japanese and translated, so there is some loss in translation. I wouldn't beat myself up over it, LOL! Some of them absolutely take a lot of thought to try and figure out what the engineers are trying to convey. My wife, for a while, wrote software manuals and she did it from a users perspective and experience using the software. The programmers notes were not very helpful 🙂
