Product description
BENOISON 85mm Prime Lens for Nikon F - 85mm f1.8 Manual Focus (MF)
NOT for Nikon Z9 Z8 Z7 Z7II Z6 Z6II Z5 Z30 Z50 Zf Zfc (Z mount)
Manual Focus (MF)
FULLY MANUAL LENS, no electrical contacts→ no autofocus→ no image stabilization
When using a manual focus lens (non-autofocus), you must rotate the "Manual Focus Ring" at the front of the lens to achieve sharp focus; otherwise, the subject will appear blurry in the viewfinder.
Additionally, the aperture can only be adjusted via the "Aperture Ring" on the lens. For optimal results, ensure the viewfinder diopter is correctly set for your eyesight.
Practice adjusting both rings to master precise control over focus and exposure.
How to use the manual lens?
Error page “Lens not attached” → Switch to M
The "Lens not attached" error is normal when using a manual lens. To resolve this, set the camera to Manual Mode (M) and the error will disappear.
Once in M mode, the lens can be used normally.
Note that the aperture value will not be displayed (it will show "F--"). the aperture can only be adjusted via the "Aperture Ring" on the lens.
Manual Focus
85mm F1.8 for Nikon F
Attach the lens to camera; Set the camera to Mode M (The error page disappears in M);
Set the lens to your desired aperture/ISO/shutter speed; Adjust the front focus ring to bring the subject into focus and take a shot.
Why do I get the error page “Lens not attached” after installing our lenses?
Since there are no electronic contacts to recognize the lens, you cannot press the shutter button to take a picture and the “Lens not attached” error page appears. After switching to M, the error page disappears and it will work normally.
Why does my picture out of focus and very blurry?
For manual lenses, you must turn the focus ring on the front of the lens to focus. If the photo is still blurry after focusing sharply, please adjust the exposure by ISO/aperture/shutter speed.
Why it show "F--"? and How to adjust the aperture value?
Manual lenses do not have an electronic contact, "F--" is displayed because the camera is unable to acquire aperture information. For manual lenses, the aperture value can only be adjusted with the aperture ring on the lens.
How to do if the image turns out dark?
If the image is too dark, increase the ISO (e.g. from 800 to 1600) to increase the sensitivity, and decrease the shutter speed (e.g. from 1/250s to 1/125s) to allow more light onto the sensor.
How to do if the image turns out bright?
If the image is too bright, lower the ISO (e.g. from 200 to 100) to reduce the light sensitivity, and increase the shutter speed (e.g. from 1/125s to 1/250s) to reduce the exposure and avoid overexposure.
