Anyone have problems with the lens being non functional due to 'not being attached to camera'?

which mount do you use? a canon mount lens will not fit a nikon...or vice versa...then again if you got the right lens for the right camera, did you twist it to lock onto the mount....you will always hear a 'click' when it's mount properly...

Although I have never had this problem with this lens, I have seen it before with other lenses. My first thought is that the electronic contacts between lens and camera aren't working properly. They may simply be dirty - try wiping them off with a clean rag. The contacts may also be misaligned where the lens meets the camera, maybe because of something getting in the way or a faulty mount on the lens or camera. I think dirt on the contacts is most likely the cause.

Our camera is still working beautifully; I have not heard whether others have had issues. Good luck!

Yes I have the same issue. There is nothing wrong with the lens. It is a third party lens and is totally manual. Flip your camera to manual mode and adjust your settings. The camera will fire is this mode.

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

I purchased one that Failed, not structurally, as the lens appears very well built, but the electronics/contacts failed. It on its way back to Olympus for warranty service. Image quality is really nice though!!

Same trouble I had with mine right out of the box... requires Canon service and likely replacement. The electronic lenses are very flimsy and the slightest bit of dirt will ruin them.

I am also facing the same issue, I have just purchased it. Was worried if it can damage my camera or I will return its a problem

Hi, sorry to hear that, i have no idea if fixing is needed, but have you checked if it is locked? there is a wheel you can can turn near the shutter relese that might be set to lock and thus you can't use it.hope this is the only issue and that this will solve your problem.

I haven't had anything like that happen to mine. I was just looking at the lens and honestly I can't see what might fall off in the way of a thin, plastic circle or ring. If the camera is still operating properly then I'd say keep taking pictures. With hope the now-missing circle/ring hasn't left an opening where dust and dirt can get into the lens or the camera itself. Keep us posted.

Hello, the lens is manual, works manually only. Please put your camera into "no lens attached" mode and continue to shoot manually on in Aperture priority mode. Thank you.

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?

I have never had a problem with any camera or lens. Just make sure you keep everything tight

The thing that makes it is the lenses I have had no problems with mine and it break down in what you want to do with it . Just keep your file updated and you should be happy with it.

Went on a trip with my new D50 and it stopped working after 5-6 pictures. Showed an error message. When I got back home I decided to read the book. Seems the lens slipped out of F22 to F16. Rotating the F-ring back to F22 fixed the problem. Ignorant me. Since then I try to only purchase lenses with a little snaplock on the f-ring. Problem solved.

There's a little tab that locks the adapter onto the lens. You can see it engaging if you look while connecting the adapter to the lens. The first time I tried to connect, I bent the tab trying to force the adapter and the lens wouldn't lock. I had to bend the tab upward with pliers so it would engage the lens. It was all good news from there.

None that I have noticed. The 18-200 lens for DX cameras had the problem on earlier version.
