Am I correct in assuming that, when using this and the minolta lens, you have to set the Nikon on "manual?"

My Minolta lens, past down from my father, are all manual focus. I don't know Minolta well enough to know if they have auto focus or not. But I shoot in Manual mode and my aperture is manual on the lens. I think it's a good cheap way to do still life photography. Might be just a bit difficult for portraits. But I am pleased that I purchased adaptor.

Hello Tachi1Yes, most digital cameras must be set to Manual (M) or Semi-Manual (P) modes when using manual lenses or adapted lenses.No auto features are supported, thank you!

Yes, absolutely, there is no electronic communication between the lens and the camera with this adapter.

Yes, the auto shutter or aperture settings on the Nikon camera will not work on the Minolta lens. Any you will have to focus manually as well.

Yes, you always have to focus this lens manually. It works great for shooting video but can be really tough to focus manually for photos.

You have to take the camera out of Automatic mode. You can only use the lens in manual mode.

I think it works without any trouble.The only problem I notice it was with my Shift Rokkor, because it don´t permit to arrive at the horizontal plane.With all my other Minolta lenses (20, 28,50, 50 macro, 100, 200 and 70-200 zoom) it woks just in manual mode.

I have a Sony alpha so it wasn't automatic focus with my camera. Not sure if it will be with a nikon

Yes, you can focus manually. Manual focus is on the lens. Just circulate the lens, and you will manual focus the camera.

I have a Nikon D5100 and it worked seamlessly. Just take note that the electronics are different so you wont have the Auto Focus feature (or any other feature at all), meaning you have to use it in full manual control. This is a good choice for using Minolta lenses on your Nikon.

The Minolta adapter has a small lens built in to the adapter. I didn't find this worked as well as the adapters with out an additional lens. I didn't like the results. I used it once.

I googled the company name who made the product; mine was different, and then user forums for their product and found someone posted the fix which required release without setup to be enabled. It works fine after that, and allows me to use some great minolta manual lenses, no auto focus.

You need to have an adaptor to your particular camera. Mine is a t-mount. These are little rings that do not cost much. I have used this with a Nikon. It is strictly manual focus, but fun to play with until you can afford something better.

I use a canon camera and I have to set my camera to manual and manually focus the lens. It doesn't have a way for the camera and lens communicate with each other. You should be able to do the same with the Nikon but I don't know for sure. There are some much more expensive rings that will work communicate with with different cameras but I didn't think they were worth the money for what I do. I hope this helps!!!

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

yes, you just wont have any auto focus.... so if your fine with manual focusing then this lens is great! amazingly sharp pictures and definitely my fav lens in my kit. but this lens does have an upgraded version with auto focus for all nikon camera.

Yes it will allow you to connect the Nikon lens to a Canon Body (I use a Canon 70D). I have not found a way to get the Auto Functions to work. So plan on a manual lens and you won't be disappointed. There are other reviews that discuss camera settings to use with a manual lens. It is not simple, and I am not familiar with the specifics of your camera.

No, you will have to manually set the aperture on the lens via the aperture ring.

Yes it has a M on the mode selector knob for all manual. You can also select aperture priority and you set speed. It has has a shutter speed priority also you set aperture. Then program and full auto. So yes you can have it function full manual and manual focus to if you want.

You have the option to do either. There is a switch on both the lenses that come in this package that can be set to Automatic OR manual. This is a very user friendly camera, especially for beginners.
