Re: Canon R7 with Rokinon/Samyang EF lens w/AE chip not working

Hello there!

I have an EOS R10 and I just received the same lens today and had the same problem (i am using an adapter with a drop-in filter from meike). I also tried a small piece of washi tape over the contacts and that seemed to fix the problem. However, because I just ordered the lens and can still return it, I exchanged it for one without the AE chip. I reached out to rokinin support before finding this thread, i will update if they say anything useful

UPDATE: 
I purchased and used the lens without the AE chip and it works perfectly. I am pretty pleased with the quality of the lens considering I got it for about $230
