Yes I have the same issue. There is nothing wrong with the lens. It is a third party lens and is totally manual. Flip your camera to manual mode and adjust your settings. The camera will fire is this mode.

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 had the same problem and I found a fix on a different site, so I thought I'd put it up here, too. It seems the "access" message happens because the lens doesn't open all the way; not sure why that is. However, when my camera opens and says "access," all I have to do is get it all the way out. So: very VERY GENTLY pull on the end of the lens (away from the camera body). You can't even feel it move, really, but then it starts working again! Hope this helps.

My guess it it's the camera since that needs energy (and there's no battery in the lens but the camera). The lens wouldn't focus by itself ...

Did you try cleaning the lens. Try a Q-Tip and some alcohol. See it that works.

I would at least contact the vendor. If no help, then the joby people. Maybe there is a defect. Be sure to check your camera's fitting, maybe it's stripped.

If you are using the reverse mount, you are mounting the lens backwards. This means there will be no electric connections to the camera. You must set your lens to manual and adjust the focus and exposure manually, otherwise it will not work. Which lens are you using? Did you attach the ring to the front of the lens glass or the cameras lens mount?

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Hello, the lens is manual, works manually only. Please put your camera into "no lens attached" mode and continue to shoot manually on in Aperture priority mode.Thank you.

I don't know since my lens works fine, I have not had to send it in for repair. Sorry, I can't help you.

Haven't had that problem. The manual just says turn the camera off and check the connection. I'd worry that the lens electronics were damaged.

I assume you've tried auto focus at different legnths. If unsuccessful you definitely need to return the lens. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

J Gibson:I dropped my old 50mm 1.8D and this is the message I got after that, I had to replace it. It might be a defective or broken lens. I would suggest trying it on another Nikon AF camera and if it still doesn't work hopefully you can return it or have it replaced under warranty.

Also, there two levers on the back of the lens. One needs to be engaged by a pin in the adapter. I wonder if the the lens is turned enough. There's a "Lock/Unlock" collar too. Maybe that's in "Lock", and the lens isn't really on all the way?
