I just received my lens in the mail. Some of the reviews mentioned a blurriness and I am getting the same result. What am I doing wrong?

be sure the two lenses are listed as compatible on the mfg web sites. Not all areotherwise the 2x works great.Take extra care with movement, use a tripodNot all lenses support auto focus with the 2x, try manual focus

I'm curious . Did you return or keep your lens and are you satisfied with it ? I'm looking to order one for my camera . Thanks .

I have not had this problem. I would suggest some cleaner. Perhaps the manufacturer can make a recommendation based on the exact materials used to make the lenses.

On the underside of the camera there are 2 screw adjustment slots (one for focus, one for zoom); please make sure your camera is in focus by adjusting both slots. If you still get blurriness problem, please use the button control on the camera to adjust the camera's color contrast and backlight setting (press on the button to bring out OSD menu, and then move up&down for choosing between menus, left&right for adjusting menus)

The image should not be blurry. Have you checked to make sure there is nothing on the viewfinder area...there is a red dial that can change the focus but i wouldn't think it would be blurry even if that was off slightly.

Im not selling this, lens. I recently purchased one and it was new. I think somehow this link got sent to the wrong person.

I haven't gotten mine yet, but I ordered it. I think I read that the silver ring on the front of the lense is how you adjust the focus...give it a try! If it doesn't work, contact the seller or something.

Send it back immediately- Amazon is great about returns. Mine is as solid as a brick and is the best built lens I own. You will see when you get another one back.!

I had the same problem and sent in for warrenty work. Its probally not your imagination, mine was defective and they replaced the auto focus sensor. Now its easy to get crisp photos without vivid mode even. Ive had lots of olympus cameras and this was the first problem Ive ever had. they repaired the next day tehy recieved it and sent it back to me a day later. Im very happy with it now. It should be easy to get a crisp photo with this camera. Hope this helps.

When mine did that, it was simply a dirty lens. I cleaned it with a microfiber cloth. As the lens is plastic, is it possible that some substance came in contact with it and turned it cloudy? Sorry, these are the only simple things I can think of

because of low light situations, the camera has to use a longer shutter (meaning the lens is open longer for light to hit the sensor) time is suspended which causes the blurriness. Other factors might be camera shake from how u are holding it. Another might be due to the lens itself if u dropped it or some other defect. I recommend to try it with flash and see if it is still blurry.

Suggest you, as quickly as possible, return the lens. I waited too long and was unable to do the return. The lens adds little, if anything, to your photos. It's a big hunk of glass that does next to nothing.

Hi bruno, I mentioned a rather stiff zoom ring starting around 100mm and no it didn't get better. I did exchange it and the new copy was better but still a bit stiff, the low light characteristics on the replacement improved just a little bit . This lens for me pretty much spends it's time in a drawer unless I'm going somewhere outside that requires going light and the photo's taken aren't important. It's rarely on my camera.

I think you are right here. I don't believe it is a lens problem as I have see this problem across a couple of lens. I did two things that seem to make a different, the first was I completely reset all the camera setting and second thing I did was up grade the camera fireware from version 1.0. 4. to version 1.0. 9. This seems to have made a difference.

Trust the box. There are focusing motors in bodies and lenses that differ so I would go by what the box says. Too bad because it is a good lens.

What else did you try that helped? When I use any amount of telephoto indoors the result is blurry unless I use a flash.

I second guessed myself as well in the beginning. The lens has a pretty long manual throw. i.e. it takes some big turns to get things into focus manually. Keep trying and it should eventually get things into focus.
