I returned mine because of the focus ring and other issues. Bought a Canon lens instead. Decided against a fisheye lens. If it was me I would consider a Rokinon HD8M-C if you can return the Opteka for refund.

Mine has no such ring---it may be a defect in the optics. I would return it for exchange.

You have to focus by moving the camera back and forth. Focus ring doesn't work. Also have to get close to object.

One issue: sometimes it loose part of the conection and loose the Aperture control. You need to reconect an its ok. The same thing with metabones, so I recomend it.

I would like to help you but your camera not being listed,if I were you,I would not take the chance to buy it ! I think you should contact Opteka directly.They would tell you for sure ! Best regards. Arnaud.

At first they sent me the wrong bag and a battery that was not a Focus battery. I gave them a negative feed back. Focus contacted me and sent me a Focus bag that all the equipment that came with the camera fit in. They also sent me a new Focus battery. The original bag was a Vivitar that was made for a small camcorder. They did not want me to send the bag or battery back to them. BTW I love the camera. Good luck!

i never got a shot of lightning with it. i gave up and saved up for a higher price one from a different company. i tried talking with the opteka company couldn't get help. it took over 800 pictures over the past month never got one good shot (no lightning). if you havent had it long i would send it back.

I have found it only to be a slight adjustment. If you take it off the camera then move it in front of something close to focus on. Adjust the ring and you will see a slight difference. Personally I don't use the diopter after initial focus.

Mine works fine it's clear without any pink circle. So yeah it might be defective that the camera lens are not working right.

Good news, guys. I called Fujifilm and they're sending me a new lenscap. Turns out the girl I spoke to in the Parts Department had the same camera and knew of the problem firsthand. The camera is awesome, but I'd advise getting rechargeable batteries, because it drinks juice.

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.!

It's probably working fine but you have to realize two things, it's designed for close work so if you have it too far away from whatever you're trying to view you're going to get the out of focus white circle. The second is if you have it close to or on top of whatever you were trying to look at you need to focus with the ring on the bottom. I thought mine was broken for a while until I figured out how to get it to focus. Finally you can also shift the focus when adjusting the magnification ring on top. If you change the magnification you will also need to refocus. Hope this helps

Yes it is, the focus ring looks like it doesn't move. It does. Remember it's LED, hard to see in bright sunlight. WB

I can tell about my experience. The noted the problem on mine too. It gives a glossy aspect to the picture. I got in contact with photodiox and they sent me a new one straight away. The second one seems to work way better, although it still happen once in a while. Since for me its just a hobby, its not a big deal but it may be a problem if you need it to work. By the way, im very pleased with the product and i believe its the only option to use the Konica AR lenses with Canon EOS.

The focus ring is not very refined. I grab the barrel while holding the ring (orange) with the other hand and use the barrel to turn the focus. You eventually get a focus for what you are looking at, takes some practice, but the the focus ring is not easy to turn, probably because of all the o rings to protect the device from water. Haven't attached the wrist band, I just used a small tie to attach a leash, so can't help there.
