Never. Would not think it possible, unless a defective item. And it does happen. Used to not. But nowadays, most things suffer. Get it serviced. Lens is very simple in design and believe by nature it could not stick unless defective.

Hello! I have this same issue but with my Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, so i guess uit was because the engine inside has a little problem and can only be useful in amanual mode. By any chance did you try to rotate the lens while you were on Automatic mode? Because that causes a rupture in the mechanism inside, if the problem is from the beggining then ask the dealer if it can fix it, otherwise use it in manual, it actually improves the quality pf the photos!

This is not normal. You may have a problem. Where is the focus ring? if its unlocked then the lens won't auto focus. Check that out first.

I've had mine for 4 years and it still works great. There are no focus or color balance settings. Have you tried resetting it and making sure the lens is very clean? Hold the reset button in for at least 5 seconds. Hope it helps, I don't know what else there might be to do.

When I received mine, the outer rim/ring surrounding the fisheye lens was very loose. It doesn't come off, but I can move it around. Was anyone else's like that or is it just normal?

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

Does this happen in auto focus mode? Does this happen as your adjusting the focal length? Maybe place the camera on a tripod and see if it occurs. I am certain the focus ring should not move unless it is manipulated.

Did u loosen the rounded thing where the mount is? U have to turn it to loosen and then slide the light into the mound on your camera and then twist it back down to tighten again.

Send it back immediately- Amazon is great about returns. Mine is as solid as a brick and is the best built lens I own. You will see when you get another one back.!

I just got this lens and cannot figure out how to adjust the aperture... I can only take photos in f/22 otherwise it tells me to "lock lens aperture ring at minimum aperture" even if I put it in M (manual) mode. How do I change it so the aperture is adjustable and not fixed?

J Gibson:I dropped my old 50mm 1.8D and this is the message I got after that, I had to replace it. It might be a defective or broken lens. I would suggest trying it on another Nikon AF camera and if it still doesn't work hopefully you can return it or have it replaced under warranty.

I believe it is a faulty lens. My brother has a t3i and has had no such issue. You should try the lense on another camera before returning though.

I truly don't know, that's a shame. Have you tried tricking it by turning it on WITH the lens cover still on, like it's saying, and then removing it to see if the message goes away? Then see if it functions normally after that. Other than that, I have no ideas or suggestions, sorry. I haven't had this problem. I'm sure a local camera shop could help you troubleshoot, possibly even for free if it doesn't require a repair. :)

I'm having the same problem using this lens on my D80 camera. What you are saying is that there is no way for me to use the ring to adjust the aperture? It only works when locked on 22?? This doesn't seem right.

I had a similar problem, but in my case, the lens would not open and extend. I looked at various websites about how to fix this type of problem (but on other cameras), but never got it to work. Unfortunately, it was just weeks after the warranty period, and because I really like the camera, I ended up buying another one, which -- so far -- has not misbehaved.
