what do you mean "having no lens"? You cannot adjust the aperture? or something else? and what camera are you using? I don't quite get the 0.45 -1.5 focal lenght.

Hi

Check to see that the AF/MF switch is on AF. (Auto Focus) and not MF (Manual Focus). Is that maybe the problem?

Why do so many people say "FER-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?
