[QUOTE="acolic, post: 791541, member: 51170"] Hi, I have a D610 and thought it would be interesting to mount a 135MM F3.5 Carl Zeiss Jenna DDR lens to it. I watched a number of youtube videos on how to set things up. It seemed pretty straight forward. I bought a Urth Lens Mount Adapter: M42 Lens to Nikon F Camera Body. I went into the menu system and under the Setup / Non-CPU Lens Data I created a new lens. Lens #1, Focal Length 135MM, Maximum Aperture F3.5. I went into the camera’s menu system and created a shortcut where the F2 button allows me to pick a non-cpu lens. I selected ‘M’ focus on the lens. I selected ‘M’ focus on the camera. I attached the lens. Now how do I take a picture? I was hoping for aperture priority but that does not look like it will work. Turning the aperture ring on the lens is not recognized on the camera. Is the correct setting complete Manual mode? Do I select the desired aperture via the lens aperture ring and the shutter speed via the rear command dial on the camera? Appreciate the help.
