Confused after reading the Q's. I have a D5100. This ring will get rid of the "no lens" warning. Can you set the F-stop with camera body like normal?

The aperture must be set manually, as well as the focus.The focus by the way, will be an extremely delicate affair because of being so close to the subject. I set my f-stop with the lens on the camera normally; then reversed it. you can leave the ring attached if you think you'll be using it a lot.

Yes. But you SHOULD deactivate the autofocus system on your camera body first (usually a lever just below the lens lock release) this will retract the slot driver that spins to focus the lens. If you want (NOT RECOMENDED) you could just over power the motor and spin the focus ring. I've done this at high stress moments and when the camera isn't cooperating. It's probably very bad for the lens' focus gears and the motor driver in the camera body though.

On your camera you must adjust the aperture ring all the way to f/22 , if not it will not auto focus .My lens works well with Nikon 5000, D90 on both manual and auto focus . Remember the aperture ring must click to the f/22 spot on the aperture ring . Good luck Michael lomax .

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!!!

The lenses I use all have an aperture ring so I don't use it. Not sure if a lens without would engage. Certainly I have no aperture control from my alpha7. The adapter ring only opens...if the lens ring is f8, you can only go wider on my lenses.

I have found it only to be a slight adjustment. If you take it off the camera then move it in front of something close to focus on. Adjust the ring and you will see a slight difference. Personally I don't use the diopter after initial focus.

It will only work in manual at your Lens' highest Fstop since they are not "dedicated" (they don't have the electronic pass through)I have used mine a lot on my D5100 in manual with a 55-300mm and tripod to get some really great pics

Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps

When I use my fotodiox aperature control, I do not receive that message. However, I shoot in m mode. This ring is designed to let you control the aperature on g lens. In other words allows you to open the aperature manually.

I have mine on a 7100 but the answer is in the lens not the camera. First, if you are using an automated shooting mode the F stop adjusts automatically as the shoot. But in manual mode M you've got to adjust the F stop yourself. Look on the lens where the F stop numbers are listed from 32 down to 4. Above the "4" you will see a little sliding tab with a little white dot on it (this is to the right of a small orange mark). This sliding tab locks the f stop for automatic use. Just slide the tab with the white dot toward the front of the lens and that will unlock the f stop ring for manual use. Hope this helps, if not, feel free to ask again.

ALL AF capable lenses that i've ever touched will allow you to rotate it past the two places where it should stop. The only lense i've ever handled that had a proper mechanical stop was made by Zeiss, i love them!

the "G" lenses don't have an aperture ring . f stop is selected with thumbwheel on camera

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.

You need to tell the camera to operate without detecting a normal e mount lens. This is a setting called "Shutter release without Lens" or something close to that under setup.

Unless you buy the one with the electrical contacts for the newer lenses, you must have an older lense with an manual aperture ring on the lense, and run in manual mode. The problem with some of the lower end Nikons is that your exposure will be by trial and error, ie D5100 for example.

I just received one of these today. There is no autofocus on the D60 for this lens, so you have to set it on M. Also, if you want the aperature to be set by the camera, you must lock the aperature setting ring. I've only been playing with it for a few minutes, but I've noticed you cannot always open the aperature to f/2.8 using the camera controls; sometimes only f3.3.

The short answer is yes it will work. You need to know going in that you will have no control over your f-stop setting. The one I bought came apart so now it is stuck on one lens. If I take it off the lens it falls apart and the small ball bearings fall out. It can be useful I have mine mounted on a billows close up rail but I wouldn't use it for a swapping out of lenses on a regular basis.
