Time to get those old manual lenses I have in my drybox out for a test. I will try out these tips for using them. Thank you very much!

I’ve had that problem before and it became worse because I forced the ring to turn. Better bring your lens to a camera repair technician and have it fixed before the lens becomes unusable.

Something’s wrong with my Samyang. The focus ring is too stiff and focusing to infinity is hard lately. What seems to be the problem?

You just need to practice. Don’t pressure yourself and use it on the streets to capture portraits of people walking. In that way, you can practice both using a manual focus lens and your street photography skills.

I’ve had a Rokinon 85mm lens on my Canon 60D for a month and I still haven’t mastered it during fast-paced events. I’m thinking about selling it and getting a Canon lens. Please convince me not to since it’s out of my budget.
