O" and the hood attachment mark on the lens lines up and you hear a click
when the hood is fixed.

* Stowing the lens hood
You can reverse and attach the lens hood when it is stowed.
1. Reverse the hood and align the hood attachment mark "TAMRON O" with
the hood attaching alignment mark on the lens and mount it.
2. Rotate the hood clockwise, the hood is difficult to pull off towards the front
(because of the construction, the hood will not be fixed when attached
backwards.)
* The hood for the A08 does not lock when it is reversed due to constructional
configuration.When carrying the lens, be sure to hold the lens firmly. If you carry
it by the hood portion only, the hood may come off the lens causing it to fall. Do
not do this as it may cause bodily harm or substantial damage to the lens.
