Our manual lenses are meticulously inspected for quality to ensure optimal performance. If you encounter any issues, they are typically related to camera setup. We're here to help! Please don't hesitate to contact us for assistance with settings and usage. These lenses are designed for users with photography experience and are not recommended for beginners.
This is a fully manual lens with no electronic contacts, so your camera won't detect it automatically. To use, simply enable the "Release w/o Lens" option in your camera menu. For the best experience, set the mode dial to Manual (M) and adjust the shutter speed and ISO as needed. Telephoto lenses work best with a tripod to capture stunning shots.
