Thank you for purchasing Xit 404's Sigma 50mm Focus Ring to use with
our Manta Gears. On the back is our warranty information to help you
prolong the life of this product.
This product is in our Manta Line. The advantage of the Manta Line of
Rings and Gears is that the parts are interchangeable. For example the
Manta Gear fits on all Manta Focus/Zoom Rings as well as our
Manta Teleconverter Extension Rings. This allows you to purchase one
gear that mates with a variety of lenses.
