Hi,
My new Rokinon 12mm f2.8 fisheye lens has arrived... visual inspection is ok, but after installing on D3500, set Aperture ring to f22 and turn on my camera to set aperture: all I see in the info panel shows "closed" aperture, no way to set or change f numbers, and there is the warning message: incompatible lens! I checked online everywhere, sellers, users,... no one mentioned this lens is incompatible to D3xxx or d5xxx or D7xxx... instead, it works with all Nikon DSLR F.F. or crop. More actions I took: try focusing on a relatively closed subject -- have to turn the focus ring to about infinity to get focused (confirm indicator in viewfinder); on a closed subject (computer screen) -- can't focus. And of course, shutter did not open any time in any mode... So I am very upset and confused hoping someone here would give some hint and help to clear up the puzzle before I return the lens. Thanks
