Normal for this lens to still click while changing aperture? I have it in Live View (Nikon D800) in video mode &amp; it clicks (but not in Pic Live View).

If you have the Cine version, it should not even be able to click. My guess it is the camera that is making the clicking sound.

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.

Mine got worse with age. What was a negligible problem at 2,000 clicks became a serious problem at 4,00 clicks. A new shutter made it worse degrading seriously after 1000 shots. I have been without the camera 5 weeks waiting for a supposedly different part number shutter to be installed.Update. Nikon replaced the camera in April with a D610 body. That camera seems fine.

Does the lens make a noise when it auto focuses or zooms? I make YouTube videos and if my camera zooms in the middle of me talking in a video that would just be distracting and awkward. :/

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

Yes, just did mine last night. The focus was off 12mm !!! The lens was working fine on my old 350d, totally shocked.

You have disengaged the Auto Focus on your camera? The pin motor might still be engaged. Pushing it could do significant damage to the lens and the camera.

Im not a photograpy guru. But I use mine with a nikon 35 mm f/1.8 dx. Change to aperture priority and adjust the ISO. I take pics in the house all the time. The flash doesnt go off and the pics are really good. The house is kind of dark. Havent tried in wedding or convention setting. I love this camera. You just need to buy the right lens for the applications you want

Hi. When the camera is switched off or the lens detached, the motor is disengaged so the focus elements and/or aperture rattle around. I had one of these for a while, and the 30mm version and both did the same thing. I never got the sense that anything was in danger of breaking and as soon as you turn the power on everything snaps into place.

Mine was the click on type. I use this lens for weddings and portraits, and the lens cap stays on, even through the abuse. Great lens!

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.

ADAPTER SEEMS STUCK? OK, this is easy (unless you've already forced it and broken it off.) As already noted in the comments, The silver button on the adapter SLIDES towards the camera and that releases the lens. It doesn't push in as you might think.

I would say you did. Mine definitely clicked in the only thing is that I can feel the edge of the cover on the bottom section of the camera lens when I run my finger from the top of the camera to the bottom. Hope this helps.

That's a good question. So I checked it out with my Nikon D600 to see what happens. It turns out that the effective f-stop does change through the full magnification range. I set the aperture to f-2.8 at infinity and then focused up close on a small object. The camera was set to Aperture Mode so mechanically, the aperture was fixed the whole time. The effective f-stop was reduced to f-4.8 at 1:1 magnification. This result is expected due to the drop off in light at this high magnification. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem and I found a fix on a different site, so I thought I'd put it up here, too. It seems the "access" message happens because the lens doesn't open all the way; not sure why that is. However, when my camera opens and says "access," all I have to do is get it all the way out. So: very VERY GENTLY pull on the end of the lens (away from the camera body). You can't even feel it move, really, but then it starts working again! Hope this helps.

Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps

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.
