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.

I am lucky not to have this oil problem. I have tenth of thousands of shots and the only issue I have is from a cheap lenses I purchased (the old Nikon F1.8D which I traded in for $50, I know low price). On my last convention of 4 days, 3 nights, I just snapped through more than 6000 shots with a Tamron 24-70mm, F2.8 lenses.

It's a great lens if you can get it to work without any issues. Please make sure that the lens focuses currently.

Anything you do to inhibit lens placement will cause zoom error. If you aren't doing anything to inhibit lens movement, maybe there's a bit of schmutz?Otherwise, call olympus and please post reply.Peter

Yes and no. There have been a few alarming SDM/Autofocus no-work moments, but a remount of lens and camera on/off has always fixed them immediately. We both use this lens all the time, so counting the one I smashed, we have direct experience with 3 of them.

Dr. Smith thank you for the response, yes that helped, but I do have it set on 'M' and it still does the error 'FEE' so I am out of options. I cleaned all the sensors and made sure to listen to the 'click' when lens locks. I'm really unsure what is the problem now. Does this mean that I can only use the f/22 with this lens? Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

I also had trouble at first. There is a metal tab on the interior of the adapter that you have to push in to get it to "lock." You may need to use a small screwdriver to hold it down while placing it onto the lens. Once it's on you'll know.

I have used this lens sparingly on my Canon EOS 6D. I have not experienced your problem.

I've read the S95 and S100 had significant lens error defects. That was the main reason I waited for this new version to come out which had supposedly fixed those problems.

Thanks to the comments here I now know why I was getting blurry photos. My lens gives unacceptable results in portrait mode, but does very well in landscape mode. Therefore it's leaving my collection and getting replaced with a 70-200mm f/4.

Not a problem. There's a hole for that. Although you have to hold the cover out of the way of the lens.

Joshua, I can tell you that I have tried several lenses without success - I would try the forums or take the unit to a camera store that specializes in lenses and fit it into the unit to test. I am also searching...

Hello... To be honest, I returned the lens because I could not figure it out and I realized I bought the wrong lens... Good luck...

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......

I had that problem, the aperture problem which resulted in overexposure. Called Fujifilm, sent the camera, and it fixed and came back. I paid the shipping cost to their service center but service was quick and replacement itself was free. I had that problem with quite early lot, but I guess current lot does not have such problem or if you have then you can get the replacement service.

I don't know. I had a specific requirement and researched to see if the lens would work. I was lucky it did in my case.

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?
