My other lenses with OIS on the lens barrel switch smoothly &amp; without much effort. My new 14-140 OIS switch is hard to switch. Is this normal?

Sorry to hear that. I have had at least 6 Panny OIS lenses and the switch is very easy on all of them. I would contact Panasonic. From what I've read, things like the ease of zooming and even image quality really vary from lens to lens. If Panasonic doesn't give you a good answer, return it and try another replacement.

The other responder is correct - the E-M1 supports all m4/3 lenses natively. You should turn off either the lens OIS or the body IBIS, and not use both simultaneously. However personally, I would turn off the lens OIS and rely on the newer 5-axis IBIS in the E-M1 body.

That took me a while too. I found that the ring on the lens (red ring around it) end moved back and forth, not a twist off. That's how I switched to fish eye. I can't remember if I used an adapotor ring to fit just the fisheye or not, but once I did the focus became manual instead of automatic. I hope I answered your question. I'll play with it and try to update you if I can get more specific.

The lenses are very easy to change, however there is a trick to it. It will take a little practice. They will not fit over prescription lenses however.

There is a lock/button on the side of the barrel. Don't push or press in this button. Instead, push it along the barrel, i.e. the direction along the lens.

Hi Russell, I don't know if there was a lens change, but mine has both the AF and MF switch (I bought it 3-4 months ago). As I am Google Trusted Photographer my lens stays in the MF mode all the time. It's great a lens and make fantastic panorama pictures.

There should be a switch on the cord with an on/off button. Or try turning the lens.

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

The Fuji X-E2 has the "shake reduction" (OIS) built in to the lens, not the camera. Check out the Fuji lenses for the X-E2, you will see "OIS" switch on the side of the lens if the lens has it.

I felt the same way when I got mine. It definitely has more resistance than the 18-55, but I think it's by design. With a more shallow depth of field at f1.2 you want a tighter focus ring for better control. Whether yours is abnormally resistant I don't know.

It has that standard AF/MF switch on the side. Set to MF and you adjust the focus with the ring. It's like the other lenses I've used from Canon and others. I'm not sure what slip-ring would be, unless you mean it focuses and then you change it. I haven't tried that.

yes, if you use the electronic shutter, the lens should be without any blurring issues. it is the first shutter curtain that causes vibrations and makes most of images at 42mm blurry regardless if OIS is on or off.

My lens locks in, the little silver button on the slide clicks forward when the lens is locked, and you must push that button back to be able to twist the lens to remove it. This is if you are talking about the lens locking to the adaptor. Instead, if you are talking about the adaptor locking to the camera, if you turn it the wrong way, you can turn it around and around in the mount without it locking in. That is just a question of turning the right direction. I've had the mount for a year, use it heavily, and it works perfectly for me. I use it with two Nikon lens.

Here is a REALLY obvious one. You can switch between manual and autofocus on this lense by pushing and pulling the autofocus ring in or out. It reads AF (autofocus) when pulled out, MF when pulled back in. This is distinct to Tokina, so not intuitive if you're used to other lenses. This lens autofocuses extremely well on my D7000 - it's my sharpest lens.

Hi NJ. This is not normal. I used a Sony A 55 with the same lens. check 2 things. 1. the Camera Body should have the Manual Focus activated. if you activate the Autofocus in the camera body, then it will supercede your lens settings. 2. the Tokina lens is a little different in terms of physically changing the focus mode. There is no AF/MF switch. you have to hold the focal ring and pull it in front or back and it will lock the AF or MF mode. let me know if this helps.

My Nikon 18-140 is now my goto lense. It is very sharp, especially at f9-f11.

On the Olympus OM-D E-M1, you can go to the Custom Menu/Release/Lens I.S. Priority. Choose "ON" to turn the OIS on, or choose "OFF" to turn the OIS off. Be sure to turn off the Olympus IBIS if you turn on the lens OIS, otherwise they will "fight" each other.
