Trouble Shooting Tips
When I mount the lens to my camera, it says "lens not attached". How can I solve this issue?
Only MF lenses which have an AutoFocus function will be recognized on camera. Despite the warning, there should be no issues when using the lens in M mode, some mirrorless cameras might require to set the "Release w/o Lens" option in the camera menu to Enable(or Set the Shutter lock option, if available, in the camera menu to Off: no lens).

Can I mount full frame lens for APS-C sensor sized cameras?
Yes, it is possible since the image circle of full frame lens is larger than that of APS-C image sensor. However, the angle of view will be narrowed down since only the valid image circle will be captured.
Can I mount APS-C lens for full frame sensor sized cameras?
The corner of image will be shown in black since the image circle of APS-C lens is smaller than that of full frame image sensor. However, it can be used without dark corners when full frame camera is support with APS-C sensor.
Why do I get all black or white images with this lens?
This is a fully manual lens, set the mode dial to manual (M) & manually set the shutter speed, aperture, ISO and focus.
If your image is too bright, it's overexposed; increase the shutter speed, decrease the ISO on the camera, and use a small aperture on the lens;
If your image is too dark, it's underexposed; slow down the shutter speed, increase the ISO on the camera, and use a large aperture on the lens.
