do you have battery there? If you are using Canon D70, change to "M", (manual), push start/stop once. then you can view from screen, push one more time, you can view thru view finder.

sounds like you need to learn to manually set the exposure , shutter speed, f-stop etc. This lens cannot autmatically do so, there are on-line tutorials, etc.that may hep. Perhaps you can find classes in your area.

This lens is "UN-stabilized" if your camera does not have a built in stabilizer,you cannot use the lens and hold in it your hands too. Your camera must be mounted on a tripod and you must use remote switch or the timer button in order to take a shot. If you fail to do any of the above, all of your shots will be burred. I have one of these lenses and it totally sucks!

You are probably activating the digital zoom, going beyond the lens zoom... I don't have this device anymore, but that would be my guess

Go to zoomed. Com and contact customer service. I needed lens and aircrft cable so I emailed asking how to buy these items and they sent me them free of charge in under a week.

Cynthia - if you can get a T adapter for the camera. I did a search for one with no luck. Check with Samsung and see if they make one. The T adapter is what connects to the camera and this extender to allow you to do prime focus photography with your camera. Hope that helps. It could be that the camera is too new.

Sorry for taking so long to answer-- the lens on the camera should turn allowing you to zoom in and out. Hope this helps.

Mount your zoom lens, without the teleconverter, on your camera and zoom it out to 300 and focus on a distant object . Note the size of the object in your viewfinder. Now take off the lens and mount the teleconverter to your lens first and then mount it to your camera body. Zoom out to 300 and look at the same object. You should notice an increase in magnification. In other words the object first viewed should look larger. You should also notice a loss of light of about one stop. Your viewfinder should look a little darker with the teleconverter on.Hope this helps.

I didn't keep the lens because it didn't seem to offer me anything that my Canon 10mm-22mm did. However, I have two other Rokinon lenses that I love. The cine features are the no click aperture and follow focus gears (the little ridges that encircle the lens). I don't see why you couldn't use it for photos. Just be cautious of the aperture changing as it does not click/lock.

sounds like you need to adjust the eye piece, " the lens nearest your eye ". There's a lock ring behind the zoom adjustment , loosen this ring and twist the eye piece to meet your needs. Hope this helps you.

On all of the canons I have owned it works this way:There should be a rubber piece around the eyepiece. It usually slips off by pushing it up. Take that piece off and slip this lens in its place. You won't need the rubber piece anymore.

I smacked mine a couple of times on the side of the lens took an air can and blew in all the cracks and crevices, Put electronic endust on a lens cleaning tissue and forcefully pulled the telephoto lens out gently while pushing on the extension button and wiped it all clean several times. Even ran the tissue a ways into the crevice surrounding the lens. Somehow it started working again which thrilled me since Ehow wanted $176 just to look at it if I would send it in. It still sounds a little scratchy but I will continue cleaning it every use. It sounds like it has a minute piece of sand or something in it. Hope this will work for you.

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

No this is to increase the zoom for macro photography. It does not work with a telephoto lens, the camera will not be able to focus. You would need to look into getting a telephoto extender

Just make sure you get the o ring connector with it, you should, I am very pleased with the lens, and I have the dsc h2, Make sure you set the settings on the camera for the tele lens, sometimes enlarged images are dark, make sure subject has light from behind, i get some brilliant and excellent shots ! There is a picture i took with this lens, click my name to see

Does it still capture an image? even though it doesn't click? I usually toggle with the zoom or the iso. The AF may not be adjusting correctly as it does for the shutter to actually open. Is there a red display box(es) ? or the shooting mode may not be appropriate....

Look up "canon chdk". It's a firmware that you load from your sd card. I'm getting optical zoom in my SD800IS, along with many other features, like shooting in raw, and control over shutter speed. For those cameras with aperture control (mine just has a NS filter), you can even adjust that.Still, I really like the looks of the SX1 coming out. I'm going to start saving for Christmas now.

yes, I had the same problem after 6 months of owning the camera. With my camera, the lens froze open while after using the camera. I sent it to Canon while it was still under warranty and they fixed it. But I am worried that it will do the same thing again. I am really disappointed with this product!

I haven't gotten mine yet, but I ordered it. I think I read that the silver ring on the front of the lense is how you adjust the focus...give it a try! If it doesn't work, contact the seller or something.
