mine is connected to nikon 50mm f1.8g but it does not open it to full aperture. It opens half way and even then it shuts back a little. any hints?

My setup is the same. However, I am using a D5100, a DX body and an FX lens. I believe this is causing the problem. Are you using an FX body?

I had a similar problem, but in my case, the lens would not open and extend. I looked at various websites about how to fix this type of problem (but on other cameras), but never got it to work. Unfortunately, it was just weeks after the warranty period, and because I really like the camera, I ended up buying another one, which -- so far -- has not misbehaved.

Maybe check battery. Mine only does that if the range is too close. Like 5 feet. Maybe lense is dirty.

Yes. Sounds like a faulty lens. It works at all f stops. Check if there's a ton of dust in the back of the lens, but that's about all you can do. Also make sure that the camera works with other lenses at other f stops, so you're sure it's not the camera.

What do you mean by it doesn't recognize? If you're talking about the aperture control auto focus etc its normal because its a manual lens everything is controled on the lens. dont forget you have to enable the feature "release without Lens" otherwise you can take pictures :)Hope it helps

Yes, it will work with that lens size, but you have to check the maximum aperture. I think the minimum the lens should be f2.2. I try it with f3.5 of aperture and didn't work, but with the lens 50mm f1.8 works perfect. I hope this help.

From my experience using this adapter with an FD 50mm f1.4, the corrective lens causes a soft edge, or "bloom" effect at F-stops faster than around f2.8, creating an unusable image. Im not sure how the difference in focal length will affect it though.

Hi, I have the exact same lens and camera (purchased recently as an upgrade from d90), I will let you know when I do some test shots! I hope they work well together, because it is one of my fav lens. =]

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?

Dr. Smith thank you for the response, yes that helped, but I do have it set on 'M' and it still does the error 'FEE' so I am out of options. I cleaned all the sensors and made sure to listen to the 'click' when lens locks. I'm really unsure what is the problem now. Does this mean that I can only use the f/22 with this lens? Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

I do not have this problem. I used it with my Nikon 800D and no any static. If you suspect any manufacturing trouble, you can always return it for a change and try a new one out.

Dear, Yes, I have the same problem. The only way to open & close the lens is with the switch on & off botton. KR

I suppose it has nothing to do with the cameras and all to do with that particular lens. For the price of the 50mm 1.4G plus it being a prime lens I figured it would focus super quick. It's funny that you bring up the 35mm 2.0 D lens having problems. I own that lens also and mine focuses just fine and much faster than the 50mm 1.4G. I'd love to hear what you find out from Nikon about this problem.

Strange issue. It fitted on all my FD lenses, including a Vivitar lense. I recomend you to consult the instructions manual or ask online to the manufacturer.

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash.Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure.Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works.....I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

I have looked at the reviews and it looks like the trend is that Canon's are having this issue. Good luck. I ordered one for myself to use with my Nikon D40 I hope and pray it works.
