Not encounter such a thing...I have three 3rd party lenses and so far no such error at all

A simple way is ... take it back to the shop that you bought the lens and show the shopkeeper the problem. Maybe a solution to your problem can be made :thumbsup:

Most 3rd party lens maker reverse-engineering on the OEM lens as they didn't paid licensing.
So if the lens is too old, it's show error 99 but if it's a recent ones then you can send it to
re-chip or re-program it.

Sometime it could be the contact is dirty so just clean it and try again.

For eg, my Nikon flash rubber button dropping off liao #&@!^%*#!@

The lens needs rechipping.

The time to troubleshoot, make trips to service centre, not getting the pictures is:

time lost=money lost



The scenario below MAY happen:

Buy original lens at $1000, can sell away later at $700 - $800 (Depreciation about ~250)

Buy third party at $700, sell away at $400 ( Depreciation ~300)


Sometimes it is not worth the effort on the third party with sub-par performance and compatiility.

That scenario doesn't bother me since I buy to use not to sell ... I don't buy my equipment to sell ... If wanna sell, I rather open a camera shop ..
