FAQs

What is the filter size for this lens?

The filter size is 52mm.

What is the closest focusing distance?

The closest focusing distance is 0.3 meters.

Does this lens have manual focus?

Yes, it does. You can switch to manual focus using the focus mode switch on your camera or lens.

Can I use this lens on an FX-format camera?

No, this lens is designed for DX-format cameras only. Using it on an FX camera will result in significant vignetting.

What is the maximum aperture?

Is the lens weather-sealed?

No, the lens is not weather-sealed, so protect it from moisture and dust.

Troubleshooting

Autofocus is not working.

Ensure the lens is set to AF mode and that your camera's autofocus settings are enabled. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera.

Images are not sharp.

Check your focus, ensure the aperture is not set too wide (f/1.8 can result in very shallow depth of field), and that you're using a fast enough shutter speed to avoid camera shake.

Lens is not recognized by the camera.

Ensure the lens is properly mounted. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera. Try another lens to determine if the issue is with the camera body.
