How do you change the aperture when this adapter is used? Is LCD preview available when settings like ISO or shutter speed are adjusted?

With your lens set to manual, your camera will function in aperture priority. The image is previewed in the aperture of your choice, and the shutter speed is automatically set by the camera. ISO selections can be made manually as if you were using a native lens. Very slick piece of gear!

For the change of aperture you need to turn the ring ( close-open). Yes, LCD will show any change of ISO, shuttle speed, that is the function of camera

Aperture is adjusted with the silver ring shown in the photo. No markings designating wide open or closed which is annoying, however it effectively 'de-clicks' your nikon lens which is handy.

All sensors work the same the only thing that doesn't work is AF (contacts lost), you have to manually focus but as with most small FL lenses you can just focus to infinity and hope for the best. Zoom lenses are very hard work with LCD screnes rather then a viewfinder and loss of AF.

The aperture is adjusted by the silver ring. If you have a G lens that would be how you adjust aperture. If you have an older lens that has its own aperture ring then you would set that silver ring wide open and use the lens ring. Yes, while you are in live view, you can see the changes in light but no aperture readout. I hope this helps!

You need to shoot in manual or aperture priority. If your lens has its own aperture ring, use that to adjust f stop keeping the adapter ring wide open. If using a G type lens, move the adapter ring to wide open. Then close it a little at a time to adjust f stop. In manual mode, you will see the exposure change on your lcd screen and on the histogram. In aperture priority, you will see the shutter speed change as you move the ring. For example, if your shutter speed moves from 1/500 to 1/250, you closed the aperture by 1 stop. Set ISO manually, not by auto ISO.

This adapter also works on the pocket cinema camera, but there is an another, better adapter by metabones that is specifically created for the Pocket Cinema Camera. Unfortunately it is sold out at the moment and hard to buy, but if you are in no hurry you should definitely wait and buy that one instead of this. If you are not short on cash, get this version too for added lens options :D

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.

I have this adapter and the 6d also, yes it will work however since there is no electronic connections with this adapter it can be difficult to get the correct exposure. The camera will show F00 for the aperture then in setting shutter speed the camera will not give any indication for you to + or - EV. There is a lot of trial and error but since its digital you're not wasting film. It is a lot of fun to revitalize old lenses though.

ISO and shutter speed is set on the camera. You set the lens on F to disengage the leaf shutter. The aperture is set by pressing/locking the aperture preview on the lens. You would then change the aperture on the lens as you would normally with the v mount lenses. Sounds like a lot, but it's not that much and you'll get accustomed to it after a few times.

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

Does it still capture an image? even though it doesn't click? I usually toggle with the zoom or the iso. The AF may not be adjusting correctly as it does for the shutter to actually open. Is there a red display box(es) ? or the shooting mode may not be appropriate....

I will answer as soon as possible. I am still waiting for my filters and adapters and LCD covers before I take my camera anywhere to take any photos. I just want to be safe. I scratched the lens and LCD on my last camera when I fell down, so I am trying to be extra careful. I will keep this email so I can remember to answer your question. Have you tried manual though? Going to the highest ISO would probably help with that.

On the top left of the camera you'll see a button marked 'mode'. Hold it down and the top LCD screen will display only the current shooting mode. I'm assuming you want to change the shooting mode from program (P) mode, which is the closest setting a professional camera has to auto. Anyway, while holding down the mode button turn the top dial. As you turn it you will see the settings change to Av (aperture value or as Canon calls it aperture priority), Tv (time value or shutter speed), M (manual) and bulb.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

!Careful! with this adapter you lose autofocus, stabilisation, and aperture control!Apart from that, it will not create a black circle.

Perfectly? 1. Have you been able to use the LCD display to set a timed interval exposure? 2. did you try to use the grip's arrow buttons to move the focus point while in live mode?

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

No, the meter lets you set the ISO and the shutter speed and it displays the aperture. Once you get a reading, you can get the other equivalent aperture/shutter settings by using the buttons on the side. If you're using flash and trying for a specific aperture, you'll have to vary the ISO value.

Yonnattan,Simply stated you can use the adapter in manual mode if the lens has an aperture ring as well as aperture priority if the lens has an aperture ring. I hope this answers your question. Regards Dennis Dellis

This does not sound normal.i had a tokina 11-16 on a nex7 with adapter and worked fine.try checking the lens on another camera just to make sure the problem is consistent.
