What error message is reading on my 50mm f/1.8d: Am I doing something wrong?

Hi. I purchased the same lens 2 days ago and yes, I am a novice using a D300. I have the same 'err' reading but when i switch and locked to f/22 i realised that the camera body electronically controls the aperture setting - which you can obviously set in 'A' mode. I assumed that the manual a f adjustment ring on the lens then was only for cameras that do no have electronically controlled A settings via the body.

Try attaching the lens adapter to the lens before attaching it to the camera. I have kept mine on my Pentax 50mm lens to be apart of the lens itself.

I suppose it has nothing to do with the cameras and all to do with that particular lens. For the price of the 50mm 1.4G plus it being a prime lens I figured it would focus super quick. It's funny that you bring up the 35mm 2.0 D lens having problems. I own that lens also and mine focuses just fine and much faster than the 50mm 1.4G. I'd love to hear what you find out from Nikon about this problem.

You might want to make sure you have the AF turn on both the camera body and the lense. They are two separate settings.

Yeah, it doesn't affect the pictures at all you're right. Sometimes it's annoying when I'm trying to use my 50mm prime, as I have to manually focus that and the blurry line doesn't help.I called Nikon also and they said I could ship it to them and they would look at it. I'm slightly worried to do that because I'm afraid they'll do something to screw it up worse. I guess I can live with it. If you send yours in, could you let me know if they actually fix it by replying here?

yep.... check your contacts on camera mount, also on lens- clean with rubbing alcohol. Also, naturally, make sure lens is securely and completley mounted. Failing that, you'll have to send it in as it would seem you have a bad copy.

Sorry, I do not have that lens and the EF 50mm/f1.4 does not exhibit this issue.

have you check the ISO youre using? I had the same problem when i had my setting at the highest ISO. I now just leave it as AUTO and have great pics. If thats not the problem, then i dunno what is. Sorry!

Joshua, I can tell you that I have tried several lenses without success - I would try the forums or take the unit to a camera store that specializes in lenses and fit it into the unit to test. I am also searching...

I think Tom's answer is the right think to do, I was photographing off road races the last week and as. A test bring my Oly epl 3 with two prime MD lenses a 50 and 200, using the same adapter and works surprisingly GOOD, if you try everything and doesn't work may be its defective! good Luck always here to help if you need.

Send it back ASAP As it in warranty as Error 99 is a general error some time due to a out of range setting in manual mode setting in the camera, bad lens and flash mounts plus moreone thing to remember digital cameras with auto lens are very complex thingThus more things to go wrong.Canon makes a ton of these, so some can be bad which is why we have warranty's

I have probably taken over 1000 pictures since my purchase of lens. I have not heard this problem. Call Tamron and speak with them. This is the second one I have

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.!

Friend, I checked and my lens is the macro, and maybe my reference maybe wont work

Same trouble I had with mine right out of the box... requires Canon service and likely replacement. The electronic lenses are very flimsy and the slightest bit of dirt will ruin them.

If the lens doesn't retract all the way, slide a piece of paper in between the lens barrels. Try turning it on. This fixed mine tonight. I think the lens wasn't seated properly.Don't do this unless you are sure it's out of warranty.

Try doing a full format of the card. I have used this card on both Canon and Nikon, several models and never had an issue. Might want to contact Nikon if a full format of the card does not work. There is no firmware on the card that should need to be updated.
