Q: 3. Will it fit on a Nikon D500?

A: Yes, the Lensbaby Sol 45mm f/3.5 Lens for Nikon F Cameras, B&H # LELBS45N, would be compatible for use on the Nikon D500 DSLR camera. Do note that this is a fully manual lens with a fixed f/3.5 aperture. You will have to use the camera in either A (Aperture-priority) or M (Manual) mode, and to have the camera enter the EXIF data for the lens, you would have to go to the Setup Menu and go to the Non-CPU Lens Data section and enter the lens' focal length and aperture into the menu as stated on pages 250-252 in the Nikon D500 DSLR camera's instruction manual.

Q: 4. My Canon R6 won't shoot with the Sol 45mm. I get F00 message. What's wrong?

A: As the Lensbaby Sol 45mm f/3.5 Lens for Canon EF Cameras is a fully manual lens and has no electronic contacts, the Canon EOS R6 Mirrorless Camera does not know a lens is connected when using this lens on the camera. As such, you would need to go into the camera's menu under the Custom Function Menu (Tab 4), and under [Release Shutter w/o Lens], select [ON: Enable], which will allow you to release the shutter of your camera when using the Lensbaby Sol 45mm f/3.5 Lens for Canon EF Cameras (or a third-party lens with a manual lens adapter).

Q: 5. With a Nikon D750, do I use Aperture priority? Is this lens difficult to learn how to use?

A: Yes, you do. The instructions in the manual will tell you to use Aperture. I use the D750 also. Lensbaby are all manual focus so it can be a challenge to use. My eyes are not the best so I do have to work at the focusing. I just bought the Velvet 85 and it is challenging also. But that being said, I love this little lens! It really can be fun. Here is a shot I did with the Sol 45. https://www.flickr.com/photos/kellykayhorne/48922189672/in/dateposted/

A: B&H ‘specs’ indicate 9.6 oz (272 gm). In your hand, it will feel even lighter!

Q: 7. There's some play in the lens due to the front of the lens moving relative to the axis of the barrel. Anyone else seen this problem?

A: That does happen sometimes. That is because a spring in the mount is not very tight. The lens will still work perfectly though and allow for great images. That type of movement happens with any lens of any manufacturer.
