Vedlikehold og stell

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Rokinon AF 12mm F2.0 lens, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Rengjøring: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe dust and smudges from the lens surfaces. For stubborn marks, use a specialized lens cleaning solution applied to a microfiber cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Lagring: When not in use, store the lens with both front and rear caps attached in its provided lens case or a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Værforsegling: The lens features weather sealing and rear protective glass to shield internal optics from dust and moisture. While this provides protection, avoid exposing the lens to heavy rain or submerging it in water.
• Håndtering: Always handle the lens by its barrel, not by the front element or lens hood. Avoid dropping or subjecting the lens to strong impacts.

If you encounter issues with your Rokinon AF 12mm F2.0 lens, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
