    Got my NEX6 with 16-50 PZ lens an hour or so ago. Charged it to 30%, haven't upgraded firmware. I get a "Cannot recognize lens, attach properly" message. I have tried putting it on and off countless times with both the "Release without shutter" enabled and disabled. Nothing is on the contacts, or sensor, or anything really.

    What I do is I put it on, turn it on, then the aperture blades narrow in 3 times making a clicking sound each time when they shoot back...and I get the error.

    Please not that I got this in "Good" condition from Amazon Warehouse Deals which may mean it could be faulty.

    ooh bummer. maybe do a full charge and then reset to factory settings? then a sensor clean (IN SETTINGS) and see if its any better. Sorry to hear its not working straight away. hopefully someone else can recommend something else :)

    Did a factory reset with no luck. Leaving it on the charge for an hour during my next class. Will update firmware also. Hope it works, cause I don't want to wait a week for a replacement :(

    Seems like a lens defect. There probably won't be a way around a replacement.

    Try to clean the contacts with some good quality alcohol and try again. Don't use any kind of other cleaner!

    If that doesn't help: Send it back asap!
    Amazon Warehouse in good condition means that it's not in mint condition but it has to work correctly!
