Troubleshooting

Images are not sharp.

Ensure the lens is properly focused manually. Check for camera shake and use a faster shutter speed if necessary. Verify the aperture setting; wider apertures (lower f-numbers) have a narrower depth of field, so focus is more critical.

Focus ring feels stiff.

The focus ring should rotate smoothly. If it is stiff, the lens might need professional cleaning and lubrication, or the focus ring could be damaged.

Lens is not recognized by the camera.

Make sure the lens is securely mounted to the camera. Check the camera's settings to ensure manual focus lenses are enabled. Inspect the lens contacts for any dirt or damage.

Images appear blurry at the edges.

Ensure the subject is in focus. Stop down the aperture (increase the f-number) to increase the depth of field. This issue can also be caused by lens flaws, which may require replacement.
