Troubleshooting
Autofocus is slow or inaccurate.
Ensure the camera's firmware is up to date and compatible with the lens. Clean the lens contacts and camera mount contacts.
Image quality is soft, especially at the edges.
Confirm the lens is properly seated on the camera mount. Try shooting at slightly smaller apertures (e.g., f/4 or f/5.6) as ultra-wide lenses can be most critical at their widest settings. Ensure the correct lens profile is selected in post-processing software.
Lens is not recognized by the camera.
Remove and reattach the lens. Clean the electronic contacts on both the lens and the camera body. Test with another L-Mount lens if possible to isolate the issue.
