I purchased the 127EQ and no matter what lens I use, I can't see any images. I made sure all the covers were off but all I see are blurs.

Make sure you're using the correct lense. Don't use the high powered one yet. Use the lowest power. Point it at a far away house's window and get it focused. Next get the spotting scope calibrated on that window. Once you've done that, point it at the moon and focus on that. Sounds like you're just way out of focus.

You have to make sure that the eyepiece is in right and full seated so the mirror will focus on the eyepiece mirror and the focus adjust on the eyepiece can focus the image the big mirror sees

Practice in the day time on something far away like a street sign or building or something. Use the widest lens first. Dont use the extra magnifer. Put the lens in all the way and tighten the screw. Use the finder scope on the top to get it close to the object you want to see. Then adjust the focus dial raising and lowering the lens untill you can see an image. I used mine in the day time several times before I tried it succesfully at night.

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.

Hey Donna......we had the same problem so returned it. My husband ordered a Nikon lense and has encouraged others not to buy other brands. They just dont work on the Nikon. Hope this helps.

It may also be the case that you are looking at used or refurbished lenses. I bought one used, it is like new and an excellent lens for low price. Best regards

The viewfinder on the 780is is a joke. It's SO tiny. I feel like an absolute moron trying to use it. Otherwise, LOVE the camera.I'm getting a camera for my friend for her birthday, and the 940is is the easy choice for me.

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.

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

Not on either the surface of the lens (back or front), nor anyplace inside the lens. Check to see if there is anything on the surface, although even if there was it should be out of focus. Are you seeing this through the viewfinder of your camera (or LCD display), or when you look through the lens (detached from the camera)? If you do not see it with another lens on the LCD display, then the problem is with this new lens. If you do see it with other lenses, then possibly dirt on the camera's sensor. In either case, try to exchange the product.

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.

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.

I noticed that you have to have proper lighting for the camera to focus. If not you never get the green light to take the picture. Outside of that may just be a dirty lense.

I'm having problems with the lens period I have been meaning to visit a camera shop and explain to me what the issue might be.. All my other lenses work just fine This Bower has been problematic

Has anyone else found it impossible to get the fisheye to focus? It's blurry as heck.

Guessing you meant 127EQ?? Not familiar with 127Q, but for a 1M focal length, would be about the same field of view as a 6mm eyepiece. About 150-175 x. Probably a pretty good match for the 127 EQ. Do you already have the scope? Do you have a 4mm eyepiece? Assuming it is 127 EQ, it will be a little more stable and crisp than the 4mm that comes with a 127EQ

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.

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

Don't bother, I bought this for mine and the camera lense was unbelievably blurry. I sent multiple emails with no response, I eventually had to file a claim with amazon to get my money back
