Troubleshooting
Image is not sharp.
Ensure the lens is correctly focused. Since this is a manual focus lens, carefully adjust the focus ring until your subject is sharp. Check the aperture, a wider aperture (lower f-number) will create a shallower depth of field.
Camera doesn't recognize the lens.
Make sure your camera's firmware is up to date and that the lens is securely attached. Clean the lens contacts.
Images are too dark.
Check your camera's exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO). Adjust them to allow more light to reach the sensor.
