Why doesn't my rokinon 500mm lens work with my Nikn D3100 camera?

The lens fits the camera but shows no lens attached when I turn the camera on.

The lens does not have the electronics to communicate with the camera. It will work fine in Manual exposure mode. Turn the mode dial to M. You'll have to set the shutter speed yourself, without any help from the camera's exposure meter. You'll also have to focus yourself, of course.

The lens in question is not brand specific. Instead you use T2 mount adaptors to fit whichever SLR camera you wish to use with it.

T2 mounts can be purchased widely online, just choose whichever one fits your camera mount.

I bought a Rokinon 500mm and adapter but once assembled it, my camera says the lens wasn't attached
It is possible you may have purchased an adapter that does NOT function in "auto-focus" and if you have an auto-focus lens, the electronic connections between the two may not be compatible. This may be causing that problem.

This will have to be sent in for repair, no other way around it. Call a camera repair facility first before you send it in to get a quote, many times a new or used lens is cheeper. Don't forget to check Ebay. Good-luck

How to connect the rokinon lens mirror len 800mm to a Nikon d3100 camera
The lens lacks the electronics to communicate with the camera. You must shoot in manual mode (turn the mode dial to M). You'll have to set the aperture and shutter speed without any assistance from the camera's light meter. You can review the photo and use the histogram to adjust the exposure.

Installing the Rokinon 500mm/1000mm f/8.0 Mirror Lens for Nikon
This lens does not have the electronics to communicate with the camera. You have to use the camera on the Manual exposure mode (turn the mode dial to M) and set the aperture and shutter speed yourself. You will not get any metering help from the camera's light meter, but you can use the histogram to fine-tune your exposure. You also have to focus the camera manually.

You'll want to use a tripod or other support, as the lens will magnify every bit of camera shake.

Rokinon 500mm for nikon D5100
The filters go on the back of the lens (the end that connects to the camera). If you detach the lens and look inside, you'll see a threaded ring. Simply screw the filter on, similar to how you put filters on the front end of other lenses.

Due to the great magnification ratio of this lens, you absolutely need to have it on a tripod or other stable support. Even the slightest camera shake will be magnified.

The lens also has very little depth of field, so you must focus precisely. Since you're mounted on a tripod, you might want to activate the LiveView feature and zoom in the subject while you focus.

The Rokinon lens does not have the electronics to communicate with the camera. You must set the camera to the Manual exposure mode in order to use this lens. You control the shutter speed on the camera and the aperture by turning the ring on the lens. You also will not be able to use the camera's exposure meter; you can use the LCD display and the histogram to fine-tune the exposure.

Refer to the manual for full details on using the Manual exposure mode.

How to attach filters to a Rokinon 500mm/ 1000mm Mirror Lens for Canon EOS
For the Rokinon 500mm F/6.3 lens, you can either attach 95mm filters to the front or 34mm filters to the rear of the lens.

For the Rokinon 500mm F/8 lens, you can only attach 30.5mm filters to the rear of the lens.

To attach a filter to the rear of the lens, remove the lens from the camera (or take the rear lens cap off). There's a threaded screw mount just inside of where the lens fits onto the camera. Take your filter and screw it into place. Hand tighten until it's snug and doesn't project in the way---remember, you're going to want to take it off again later.

How do I mount the 500mm mirror lens filter(s) on my new Rokinon lens?
The 30.5mm rear filters fit in the rear of the lens. If you remove the T-mount adapter, you should see the threads which take the filter.

Try switching the exposure mode to Manual. This lens has no electronic systems and thus cannot interface with the camera's exposure meter.
