My NEX 7 doesn't recognize a new Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish-Eye Lens for Sony E-mount. I've followed all instructions in the manual. Any ideas?

I have a NEX 6 so don't know if this will work for a NEX 7. But for my camera, I went to the Menu, chose 'Setup' and then chose the "Relsease w/o lens' option as advised by Rokinon support staff and it worked fine...good luck

It won't recognize it. You likely have to switch on shooting without lens to get it to work. That is what I had to do with my Fuji version.

Since this lens has no electronics, it's normal for the camera to not recognize its presence. You need to go into the the setup menu of the camera and enable "Release w/o lens". This will allow you to use your NEX-7 with fully manual lenses like this one

What do you mean by it doesn't recognize? If you're talking about the aperture control auto focus etc its normal because its a manual lens everything is controled on the lens. dont forget you have to enable the feature "release without Lens" otherwise you can take pictures :)Hope it helps

What do you mean recognize? It is a manual lens. You have to focus it manually. The camera will set the exposure.

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......

I believe all i had to do to get it to work was (on my nex6):-Enter the main menu screen-go to the 'setup' section-Scroll down to 'Release w/o Lens'-Set 'Release w/o Lens' to 'enable'Your camera will never recognise the lens as its a 3rd party-un-powered-manual lens so you have to enable the camera to operate like normal without a lens attached. If the shutter activates without a lens attached then you are good to go.Hope this helps. BB

Yes, the Sony SELP18105G lens has an E-mount. I have been using it on my Sony NEX-5R for about a month. All NEX cameras have an E-mount connection so there should be no problem putting it on a Sony NEX-6.

maybe with an adaptor, this is similar to the sony A mount, nex use the sony E mount which is NOT directly compatible, best bet is to ask Sigma directly

Sigma 28 - 200mm A mount lens wont work onto Nex E mount body..as it different in ring size ..but you do have an option. .you need an adapter .Sony LA-EA1A electronic adapter to fit in.

Hi! NEX-7 cameras uses E-mount lenses (e.g. SEL1855) in which if you have an A-mount lens (SAL1855) you needed an adaptor to make it work. You may use the Sony A-mount to E mount lens adaptor (LA-EA) and currently there are 4 available varieties for this adaptor. You may check on the link below for a detailed information that will suit your preferences. Hope this helps.

Sorry, the RML1AM remote release doesn't work with the Nex-7. You'll need an IR release.

I do not know about an adapter. I have the NEX-3. Sorry I cannot be of assistance. Might want to contact Sony.

I have two Nex-7 and a Nex-3 cameras and I have not noticed any "purple fringing" with this lens. My main issue with the lens is that, even stopped down to the max, it does not seem as sharp as it should be. I have a SONY 16mm f/2.8 Wide Angle and the Rokinon is no where as sharp as that lens. Maybe I am expecting too much. Don't get me wrong. I use and enjoy the Fish-eye FX this lens provides, soft or not.

It works with the E-Mount lenses. I put in on my wide angle prime lense, but I don't have it in front of me right now. I have the Nex 7.

Hi, I'm sorry. I am no expert on these lenses.. I bought it, on amazon, after discovering it was compatible with the Sony NEX5R that I bought... I have no other knowledge about them. Good luck...

You will have to get an adapter to fit the A mount lenses onto the E mount Nex camera. Sony discontinued the lower cost adapter but maybe you could find it here on Amazon (Alpha mount adaptor LA-EA1 )

The LA-EA1 will work with Builtin Motor Lenses in AF other lenses Manual Focus only. The LA-EA2 wil AF on any AF Alpha Lens Its Phase Detection. Sony will have 2 more Adapters in Dec of this year EA3 & EA4 The EA4 is for thye A7r 36MPIX Camera. EA3 will work on your NEX 7. Go to www.dpreview.com to see more details & info. I would Buy one the Newer Versions. Ok

I have 18-55mm and 55-210mm E-mount lenses for my NEX 7 and they work fine. I believe they would work for any of the E-mount lenses. They are plastic, and with the long lenses seem slightly wobbly, but the auto focus and other electronics seem to work just fine.
