Have bought myself my first digital camera - well serious one I mean ...a D3200 . No lens , body only as I had read some place that this could be used with Manual metering functions retained with MF lenses . Think I am quickly realising I misread that !
I really want to use this camera with some older independant make Mirror and Tele lenses I have acquired .
All manual N-A1 don't register - the camera claims "LENS NOT ATTACHED " unless set to M on the mode dial .
Then and only then I can get slower/faster speeds with the thumbwheel , but the F stop sign shows only " F - - " . With NO adjustment ?
As expected it works well with a AF-D tele lens in all metering modes ...and I can see the viewfinder enough to focus .
[ oddly I have a smaller AF-D zoom by another maker and that is locked out - as if it was a Manual lens , with the same info given to the LCD screen ] .
I there anything I can do to make this camera work with AI mounted lenses ? Don't mind using a handheld meter ...but anyway software wise to unlock the F stop 's ?
