Troubleshooting

Lens is stiff or difficult to focus.

Ensure the lens is properly mounted and that no external elements are obstructing the focus ring. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Images appear soft or have excessive flare.

Check for smudges or dust on the front element. Ensure lens caps are removed and that no stray light is directly hitting the front element if not desired. Verify the lens is focused correctly.

Focus and iris gears do not mesh smoothly with accessories.

Confirm that the focus and iris gears are aligned correctly. The Vespid series is designed with shared gear positions for consistency; ensure your follow focus and iris controls are set up accordingly.

Camera does not recognize the lens.

This is a manual lens, so electronic communication is not expected. Ensure the camera is set to allow shooting without a lens if prompted. If using with an adapter, verify adapter compatibility and correct mounting.
