You didn't mention attaching a lens, but I assume you did since you focused it. You must adjust exposure manually and take test shots as well as focus. Four simple ways to adjust exposure; increase ISO, decrease shutter speed, increase aperture size, increase exposure compensation. Try one or more until your exposure is the way you want.

I had the same problem with my D3100. I consulted the manual, all menus, I went online for tech service, and spoke to other Nikon users. It just boiled down the incompatibility issues with my specific model. I was told very cautiously that non-Nikon remotes very much have the ability to ruin the motors inside the lenses. Since lenses are the most important and expensive component of the camera (already an investment), I sent mine back and will by trying the Nikon remote in the near future. Since the description stated that it will work but however does not, shipping (up to $5.26) is refunded. Good Luck. I had the same problem with my D3100.

No, it's not normal, it should work. Has you checked the firmware versions in camera and 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?

NO it does not work with the D3100 - tried it. I had to pass it along to a friend with a different Nikon.

Try putting your camera in manual mode. AF doesn't work with this adapter, so use it as a manual focus.

I'm surprised, I would have thought that would work, especially with the D7000. Sorry, I guess I can't help with this one. Good luck!

It's working fine with the autofocus mode on your lens, would also work with the manual focus but you would have to preset the focus on the lens.Michael

I get it too.... Are you using the adapter for it or did you screw it directly to your camera? I came to the conclusion that using the adapter was the problem. I went to a camera store and tried a fisheye that actually fit my camera without an adapter, took a picture and it didn't have a shadow.

I have a D3100 and it works for me, although I am not impressed with the lens, however for the price I will keep it

I ordered it because I read other reviews that it did work with the 3100. When I received it there we no instructions on how to set up the camera for it. I am in the process now of researching some info. What I have found online and you tube is you need to have the camera on a special setting for it to work. Even the Nikon manual has no into on this. So, bottom line is I'm still researching it. The price is great. It came much quicker then they said it would.

Thank you for your interest in our package deal! In regards to your inquiry, this lens is compatible with the Nikon D3100. You will have to use the Precision Design T Mount for Nikon included in this bundle for the lens to adapter to the D3100. Also, this lens is Manual Focus and works in Manual Mode only. Therefore, you will lose any automatic function.

I used to mount to the FD lens first, I think it's much easier (but still tricky : needs some practice). I never tried the other way ...

I should have added I am using the Sony mount, might be different for other brands.I am using on Sony A57, some shadowing with built in flash use.

I used on my d5200. It did not function as i expected. Maybe because i am a new user and dont know how to properly adjust it. I will buy a nikon just for sure to replace that one.

It only manually focused on my d600. Not sure if I bought a bad copy or what. I returned it and purchased the 16-35mm. Good Luck!
