Hey all,

Just got my new Leica 15mm lens in the mail and was so excited to go connect it. I have shoot w/o a lens turned on already. I put the lens on, and as soon as I twist to lock it, the screen goes black. There's no lens cap, there's nothing blocking the lens. The lens itself I can see right through. It must be something with the connection, but I've tried reseating it at least a dozen times to no avail. Anyone know what might be going on? I'll try and get a video of it.
