35mm doesn't work with gh5 (I have TWO!)

I saw a video on facebook of a guy using one of these with his GH5, it looked great and he advised me to get this one lens to buy. I have both 25 and 35.25 works great. I got my second 35 today (the last one couldn't focus more than five feet in front of me) and it literally does exactly the same thing as the last 35. Except this one has the Canon focus ring for some reason. The latter focuses like a Nikon lens. I really hope they send me one that actually works. I'm craving that cool vintage look. I ordered my 3rd. I will report it. I hope it works and I can change it to 5 stars. ALSO. I've noticed that if I remove the adapter and hold the lens closer to the camera sensor, I can focus farther. So I think the problem might be the distance of the lens from the sensor. Perhaps due to the size of the adapter or a malfunction in the glass. Just take a look.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Too long to wait
