[QUOTE="aroy, post: 303629, member: 16090"] That is the shortcoming of the D3xxx series bodies. They do not recognize most of the manual focus lenses, nor do they meter or set the aperture. What I do with AIS lens on my D3300 is . Set the aperture ring to max aperture (F22), and then attach the lens. . Use the aperture ring to set the desired aperture. . Use the camera to set the ISO and speed (approximately to what I think is correct). . Take a test shot and check the histogram. Reset the aperture/speed and check if the histogram is fine. On the FX bodies, you can set the parameters for MF lenses and the camera will meter (and set the speed/ISO accordingly), but on the D3xxx bodies it is all manual. So if you use the D3xxx bodies all the settings are manual. If you use FX body then, you enter the lens parameters in the data base, set the aperture manually and let the camera decide the speed/ISO based on its meter. If that does not work, then . Check the camera, by mounting a Nikon AIS lens. If it works properly, your lens is misbehaving. . If the AIS lens does not meter properly, then camera body needs attention. [/QUOTE]
