How does this work if you want to shoot a long exposure like 20-30 seconds? My old Nikon lens can only be set to 1 sec manually.

The lens won't care about the exposure, there's no shutter inside Nikon lenses. Set the exposure on the camera body.

this won't change the functionality of your camera. almost any canon camera now (which this is for) can do long exposures

I believe the techs say the auto focus is 7 frames per second. I'm not a pro, very amateur. I do set up the focus ahead of time by aiming at the subject and holding the button halfway down for like half a second to give the camera a chance to focus and then I push all the way down to get the shot. Also, if you turn off the welcome screen, the start up time is much faster. I would go to a local store and try out the camera in person and see how you like it before you buy. There are Nikon cameras that are faster, but more expensive and for pros. Usually when I get a bad shot, it is because I had the wrong setting or something, not the camera.

you can only adjust the aperture on nikon lenses that have the adjustable aperture ring. this adapter passes no lens setting information to the camera itself. Very few, if any, of the adapters can do that and then its usually just focus. Most adapters are strictly for manual mode

I'm having the same problem using this lens on my D80 camera. What you are saying is that there is no way for me to use the ring to adjust the aperture? It only works when locked on 22?? This doesn't seem right.

I assume you mean the time from pressing the button to the time of getting the shot. As long as you have a focus, the shot is pretty instantaneous. I keep the camera set for -1, 0, +1 exposure to capture 3 different lighting for each shot, and the only delay is the image actually appearing after the button is pressed. There is about 1/2 second after you press the shutter button and see the image displayed that you have just captured.

This lens is totally manual. You have to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. In fact, you have to turn off the auto focus and any other auto/electronic feature off in your camera

You don't actually adjust the shutter speed. Set your camera to it's sync speed-usually 1/200 or 1/250 th of a second. This meter simply tells you what aperture to use for a given iso setting-depending on the flash power. Say you wanted to shoot a portrait at f8.....simply adjust your flash power until the meter reads the output at f8. Your exposure will be correct. All flashes will fire at durations faster than your sync speed so shuter speed is really irrelevant. Just fyi, flashes work on duration of time not actual brightness of flash-longer duration=more light absorbed by sensor or film.

Delay before shutter is released is from 0s to 99hrs 59 mins 59s (in 1 sec increments).Exposure time can also be set in the range as for "Delay"The interval between shutters is from 1 sec to 99 hrs 59 mins 59sNumber of shots 1 to unlimited You can do bulb photography as well.

You can only use this with your camera set at manual exposure, where you set the aperture and shutter speed your self. You can use a handheld light meter for this, or guess, or get an exposure using a matching (Canon/Nikon etc) lens on your camera body. The use that exposure when you mount a lens using the Fotodiox Maxxum to Nikon adapter. Again - no automatic exposure with this adapter. I usually guess the exposure, take some test frames and then bracket by turning the aperture ring until it looks good.

You would set your camera's exposure to 1 sec and then set the timer to 3 second intervals. So it would be 1 second for the exposure and 2 seconds in between shots.

Yes it does. I personally have taken 40+ second exposures. And yes you can have intervals and/or delays set with that as well.

Hello, the lens is manual, works manually only. Please put your camera into "no lens attached" mode and continue to shoot manually on in Aperture priority mode. Thank you.

You can keep the lens open for as long as you like... push once to open, and it won't close until you push the button again. I took 15-minute exposures of the sky at night on a mountain in Hawaii!!!!

No you can not do long exposure. I think the longest is 8 Sec. I wish it had longer exposure too but I Love the zoom.

I'm using it for Nikon D7000. Yeah you can extend the exposure to any length of time. Note: the camera has to be in "BULB" mode for that. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure what your're trying to do. I haven't used this in years, but I don't "program", I only use it for shutter release button.I used this with Canon 7D. My guess is what the "delay remote" is to set your camera to delay shooting, like 2 seconds or 10 seconds is the norm.

The shutter speed automatically varies with the available light and lens aperture. The manual says that the shutter has a range from 2 sec to 1/1600 sec.
