[QUOTE="J-see, post: 430260, member: 31330"] I would try full manual first. Set the aperture ring of the lens wide open and then a not too fast shutter speed at your standard ISO. Take a shot and if it is over/underexposed, in/decrease your shutter until you have a reasonable correctly exposed shot. Then you can test if everything works manually. The aperture ring from open to close and the manual focusing. After that you can go back and see what it does when you're having the cam control the lens. Btw, if you now use the Pv button on your cam it should open/close the aperture depending what you selected on cam. If there's no change in behavior even when you change the aperture on cam, that might already indicate something. [/QUOTE]
