Setting aperture on a D7000 with a reverse ring

Hi All,


Does anybody know how to manually set the aperature on a lens with a reverse ring on a D7000?

At the moment I can only move the little prong thing on the lens and hold it in place with some tape.


I was watching a guide where a Canon body was being used.


This person put the lens on the body, set the aperature to f/8, pressed the dof preview button and while holding the button he removed the lens.


This left the lens set at f/8 and then he could mount the lens back on the body with a reverse ring.


If I try this on the D7000, when I remove the lens I see the blades close like the lens is back at f/22 or there abouts.


Regards,
