So, i bought a 50mm 1.4D on EBay and it doesn't work.
It seems like some kind of electrical connection problem because if i twist it in some angles it sometimes picks up the connection and then it works for a few seconds before the angle changes again and i kinda have to wiggle it to make it work.
So i decided to open it up and try to find the problem, didn't find anything i can do, so i put it back together.
I now think i might just use it as a non-cpu lens, just cover up the cpu connection pins with some duct tape and it works.
So my quastion is this:
Can i somehow make the autofocus work with it being disconnected from the cpu?
I'm using a D610.
