4.1 Fokussierung

This is a manual focus lens. To achieve sharp focus, rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears clear in the viewfinder or on the camera's LCD screen. The focus scale on the lens barrel indicates the focusing distance in both meters and feet.

5. Wartung

5.1 Reinigung der Linse

• Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth specifically designed for optics to gently wipe lens surfaces.
• For stubborn smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens element.
• Use a blower brush to remove dust particles before wiping to prevent scratching.

5.2 Speicherung

• Bringen Sie immer die vorderen und hinteren Objektivdeckel an, wenn das Objektiv nicht benutzt wird.
• Store the lens in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Consider using a desiccant packet in your camera bag or storage area to prevent mold and mildew growth, especially in humid climates.

5.3 Vorsichtsmaßnahmen bei der Handhabung

• Handle the lens with care to avoid dropping or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Do not force any moving parts of the lens.
• Avoid touching the glass elements with bare hands.

6. Fehlerbehebung

6.1 Vignetting Observed

Ausgabe: Darkening at the corners of images (vignetting).

Lösung: This lens may exhibit slight vignetting when used in medium format mode at a 2:1 magnification ratio. This is normal behavior. The vignetting typically disappears when shooting at a 1:1 ratio. Adjust your composition or magnification ratio as needed.

6.2 Unsharp Images

Ausgabe: Die Bilder erscheinen verschwommen oder unscharf.

Lösung:

• Ensure proper manual focus. Utilize your camera's focus peaking or magnification assist features for critical focus.
• Check that the aperture is set appropriately for your desired depth of field. Wider apertures (smaller f-numbers) result in shallower depth of field.
• Ensure adequate shutter speed to prevent motion blur, especially when shooting handheld.

6.3 Lens Not Mounting Correctly

Ausgabe: The lens does not attach securely to the camera body.

Lösung:

• Verify that the lens mount and camera mount are clean and free of obstructions.
• Ensure correct alignment of the red mounting dots on both the lens and camera before rotating the lens clockwise.
• Do not force the lens; if it doesn't click into place easily, re-align and try again.
