[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 825579, member: 50197"] Be aware that the bellows posted has no electronic connections. That means that if you are using a lens without an aperture ring, like the ones you mentioned in your post, you will have to jump through hoops to change the aperture. I have a D3400 with the 18-55 kit lens, and tried several methods to get the aperture to change once the lens has been removed, and nothing worked. I have heard that setting the camera to the desired aperture, then turning off the camera and removing the lens would do it. It didn't work for me. I even tried setting a long shutter speed and turned it off before the shutter closed again, to no avail. The posted bellows should work well with an older lens that has an aperture ring. [/QUOTE]
