[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 791569, member: 48483"] Just taking a guess here because the behavior you describe is not right. After you enter the information for a non-cpu lens (can have up to 9 defined) [I]then you find the other place in the menu where you select a non-cpu lens as active. I think it is in the shooting menu but need time to grab my D600 and confirm that. [/I]That last part is incorrect. See edit. Otherwise I would be forced to guess your adapter is the issue. Physically look to see if there is cpu electrical contacts on the inside-top of the mount that goes in camera. There are aftermarket AF-confirm chips out there that does the same function as the non-cpu lens feature of the camera. It is possible the adapter could have that and requires user programming to set up. Once upon a time I installed one of those aftermarket chips on my 500mm relex so it could autoexpose with a D80. I removed it after upgrading cameras. EDIT: I checked my D600 and also my Z5. You just select the non-CPU lens in the same menu as defining the lens, so I am wrong about that 2nd menu entry. And also re-reading your description on a PC screen instead of a phone, I understand better. Fred's response is pretty much correct. A-priority mode you cannot change shutter speed manually, that is done automatically by camera. You adjust the aperture by the lens ring. I cannot confirm beyond that...or maybe I can. I have an old f-mount 50mm non-cpu lens nearby. Will post below soon. [/QUOTE]
