Just got mine a few days ago. I noticed that it is harder to mount/unmount on my Nikon D600 than my Nikon lenses. Is this normal?

The lens should mount with no issues. I myself have the exact setup (d600) and this lens. It is slightly thighter on the turn to lock. Other than that nothing else

I've gotten used to the way mine mounts I guess. I would describe the difference as "clunky" or not as smooth but it shouldn't be a significant difference. It's an excellent lens that I shoot with weekly.

i have no problem with mine on my d800 or my d600. just make sure the white dot on the lens and the camera body line up.and that the release button is fully de-pressed.

I also have the 600 and haven't noticed a hard fit. I have noticed it with other lenses though, shouldn't be a problem for you.

I suppose it has nothing to do with the cameras and all to do with that particular lens. For the price of the 50mm 1.4G plus it being a prime lens I figured it would focus super quick. It's funny that you bring up the 35mm 2.0 D lens having problems. I own that lens also and mine focuses just fine and much faster than the 50mm 1.4G. I'd love to hear what you find out from Nikon about this problem.

Yes I received mine a week ago and the lens crashes into the filter; not just in macro but any time the camera struggles to focus. Reading online apparently the lens can protrude a little when focusing causing the crash. I think I got a lemon so the adapter ring is going back.Update: nevermind I'm just a dumbass. I had accidentally assembled it in the wrong order. All is good and focus works fine. Since it is possible to put together backwards it makes me wonder how many of the focus reports are just user error.

I'm curious . Did you return or keep your lens and are you satisfied with it ? I'm looking to order one for my camera . Thanks .

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

If you hear a click before and after focus and release the shutter in your camera is totally normal....switch the VR off and you will notice that the click disappears...not big deal is totally normal...actually i have a few lenses that click in some way when the VR or OS or VC is ON....for me the results are that really matters...however..without the Vr if the noise of "click" is there then you should call nikon or if you can return for an exchange....good luck...I have thus lens and i made an extensive research about it...plus, I have another lenses like the 105 sigma OS macro and tamron 70-300 VC that some way make some "click" when the VC,OS, or VR is on...

Yeah, it doesn't affect the pictures at all you're right. Sometimes it's annoying when I'm trying to use my 50mm prime, as I have to manually focus that and the blurry line doesn't help.I called Nikon also and they said I could ship it to them and they would look at it. I'm slightly worried to do that because I'm afraid they'll do something to screw it up worse. I guess I can live with it. If you send yours in, could you let me know if they actually fix it by replying here?

Hi, I have the exact same lens and camera (purchased recently as an upgrade from d90), I will let you know when I do some test shots! I hope they work well together, because it is one of my fav lens. =]

I have a Nikon D700, had the same problem. The focus plane is too close. The only way I got mine to work is in combination with an Orion Shorty 2x Barlow. This forces a 2x multiplier when you may not want it, but it does focus with it attached along with the Universal camera mount. I am currently investigating just how much extension is added by using the Barlow and will be looking for an extension tube without magnification.

If it's any consolation, I didn't end up pulling out the lens cover pieces - I just put the camera away in a drawer and forgot about it. About 3 months later I took it out again, charged up the battery and it hasn't missed a beat since! The lens works perfectly. So, maybe it just needs a rest, a kick around in the bottom of a drawer or a good thump...

If it doesn't specify canon mount it's probably a sigma mount. That's what happened to me. Then when I exchsnged it they didn't have the nikon mount at the same price. Had to reorder from another store.

HI Marie. It was hard at the beginning, but it worked at the end. I too thought something was wrong! Keep trying to screw it to the end of your lens, eventually it will connect and screw properly to the lens.

The rear lens covers come off. They do not stay on. I don't understand why a company with the reputation of Nikon can't fix this seemingly small issue.

that's kind of odd. I have been using my all last winter and with no trouble with the clips. I have a 70 to 200 lens on one of my cameras and still don't have a problem. Make sure they are on tight and lined up the right way or they might let the camera come loose. I hope this helps you

I didn't get back in time to edit, but I would normally call it a step-up ring. It just has the unusual 60mm threads for the SX30 lense.I don't want someone to get confused and think this is something strange, it's just not a standard size lens mount, if I'm correct.

I had the same problem and I found a fix on a different site, so I thought I'd put it up here, too. It seems the "access" message happens because the lens doesn't open all the way; not sure why that is. However, when my camera opens and says "access," all I have to do is get it all the way out. So: very VERY GENTLY pull on the end of the lens (away from the camera body). You can't even feel it move, really, but then it starts working again! Hope this helps.

Mine has AF on all of my Nikon (D50 D70 D300 D3 & ON F100) So I would think it would on the D60 You need the one for Nikon mounts Not a Canon mount will not fit your camera
