Has anyone gotten past the notorious lens error?

Sadly, if it is doing it often.................then the digital focus mechanism needs to be replaced and it is (at least over here in Korea) more than $120.00. I have had this happen with both my 960Is and my Canon S5IS. I ended up just going ahead and replacing both of them; the 960 IS with the S100 and the S5IS with the S20IS.

Did you try cleaning the lens. Try a Q-Tip and some alcohol. See it that works.

You might have a lemon. I have the 520 and has no problem with it. Images are sharp and good. I don't have a 200mm+ lens so I haven't tried that. I have tried up to 150mm without any problem.

I have not, but i would strongly expect a converer to smear detail on the corners. This lens, when focused properly, is very sharp in the corners. I use mine on a Fuji XE1 and now issues at all.

There was an update released a while back for the focusing problem. It has been resolved. BTW: Get the MKIII's full frame.

One of mine became stuck on the lens and I worked it loose using slow but firm pressure. With the lens still attached to the adapter, you might have a little more leverage. A camera repair person might anchor the camera in a vice and dislodge the adapter with a screw driver and hammer...but VERY, VERY carefully. It's not something I would try unless you are really comfortable around tools. Wish I could be of more help.

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 had the same issue and they tried to tell me that it was a result of impact too. Not true. They wanted to charge $100 to tix but finally agreed to fix. I am disappointed and frustrated with the experience. There is a problem that is causing lens error. Beware. Otherwise the camera takes great pix.

HI Marie. It was hard at the beginning, but it worked at the end. I too thought something was wrong! Keep trying to screw it to the end of your lens, eventually it will connect and screw properly to the lens.

Honestly, I have not ideas. I'd think there could some small particle may have got into zoom section of lens and prevent the cover shutter from closing. the camera reports the error because of it.I just slide in a piece of thin plastic paper around "trying" to clear things up ,and lightly tap the lens while extending & extracting the lens. somehow, that cleared the problem by luck. but I really don't know how long it will last though.

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

I assume you've tried auto focus at different legnths. If unsuccessful you definitely need to return the lens. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

After the first shooting I used it, it was a failure. It was extremely noticeable it was defective. However, I did also run some lens cal test to verify if I could do some microadjustments, to no ado.

Sorry I just saw the incoming email. Let me understand first. Are you saying that there is no way to do an "autof" on your camera with the lens? Try half way press the shutter see if the focus can be achieved.

I think there is not. All the reviews I've read about this lens before buying it says that's it's not possible.
