The reversal ring doesn't have electrical contacts that send information to the lens about aperture. You need to set the camera to manual mode to be able to use it without the contacts. Hope this helps!

No it will not. What you need to do is set the camera to manual. That would be the M on the selector dial. It will not work with any of the other settings except Manual mode. This holds the aperture open. I do not think there is an item that will make your camera recognize the lens when it is in reverse. But setting to MANUAL mode is what you want to do.

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 don't know why it wouldn't work. The filter thread size of 52mm should work with that lens. When you say it didn't fit, you mean it wouldn't screw on to the end of the lens? Or the lens wouldn't connect to the camera body with the reversing ring attached?

It is actually a lens attachment. It does not go on to the camera body. If your lens is the same size as this attachment then it should. However, I am a novice at this and not a professional photographer. You could also take a copy of the product description and your camera to a local shop and inquire with a knowledgeable associate. Also, if there are local photography clubs near your home you can ask a member of the group. Good luck.

Hi! I don't think so. I doesn't work on my D5100, just MF.Buy the 50mm f/1.8G. Good Luck!

Yes, you have to use the correct metal ring, included in the kit, for the lens to connect properly.

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......

...hmmm I'm not a Nikon guy, but if the 5100 is a fairly current model then yes, this particular RF-602 is designed for Nikon, so it should be a go, and just to confirm, compare the bottom contacts of your 5100/strobe to see if they are a 'match' for the 602

You have to use the correct metal ring, included in the kit, for the lens to connect properly. All of the rings do not work, so look them over carefully and choose the correct ones, put the others aside so you don't get them mixed up.

Try removing the lens from the body. Line up the white dot on the ring with the white dot on the body and turn it into place. It should lock in. After that, You know need to use the opposite side of the lens to screw into the ring. That's why it's called a reverse ring. The lens should screw right in if you purchased the right size. There are a few different sizes. Make sure that you have purchased the correct one. When trying to take photos, you can't manually adjust the lens, you have to physically move your body closer or further away depending on when the photo will take.

First, there's a little pin you need to push to release it. Second, Nikon lenses release in the opposite direction from Canon lenses so make sure you are turning it in the correct direction.

Nikon makes several 50mm f/1.4 lenses. The f/1.4 D and the plain (old) f/1.4 lenses both have working aperture rings on them and they will work with the reverse ring. Just understand that everything is manual - you will have to manually set the aperture and shutter speed for your exposure. The 50mm f/1.4g lens has no aperture ring and if I am correct, it will work, however, you will have to make all your shots at the smallest aperture setting and then you only have control of the shutter speed. Hope this helps.

I have a D7000 that has the same lens mount as your 5100...it works like a charm. Just double check that the lens you are planning to use this on is a 52mn thread... look on the inside of the lens covee cap.

I have Nikon 5100 camera, this fits in front of 18-55mm lense and it worked for my camera...

The gear that interfaces with the ring on the lens can be pulled out and placed on the opposite side of the follow focus, allowing the focus to pull in the opposite direction. This does require sliding the follow focus back along your rails closer to the camera, which could cause problems with some shorter lenses, but has worked fine for me so far.

Long story short this lense doesn't have an autofocus motor built in it and neither does the 5100 so autofocus won't work but it would with a camera such as a D7000 with an autofocus motor built into the camera

Yes, this should work fine on the Nikon D3200. I have the 5100 but it is the same mount.
